Hawthorne waited over two hours to prove to the Florida high school football world that it belongs.
Once the ball kicked off at 9:15 p.m. vs. Miami Northwestern, the Hornets made their statement in their typical fashion.
Through a physical, defensive brand of football that results in a win.
Hawthorne defeated Miami Northwestern 16-12 Thursday night at Annie Mae Phillips Stadium to improve to 4-0 on the 2026 season and hand the Bulls their first loss of the season.
The tone of the game changed drastically after Hawthorne QB and 2025 All-Area Small School Player of the Year Richard Roundtree suffered an ankle injury on the first drive.

Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) reported its second-quarter results on Monday, and the two numbers that matter most sit at opposite ends of the release. The air taxi maker expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of $170 million to $200 million for the third quarter. And it closed out June holding $1.56 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
Set one number against the other and the arithmetic is simple: At the top of that guidance, Archer's money covers roughly two more years of losses. What has to happen inside them?
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
After all, this is a company still almost entirely ahead of its revenue. Second-quarter sales were $5 million, mostly from operating Hawthorne Airport in Los Angeles, against a net loss of $263 million.
None of that is surprising for a business building an aircraft program and a defense platform at once. But it does make the balance sheet the number to watch. As of this writing, shares sit near $6.60 after sliding 5% on Friday.

Last season was a massive disappointment for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team. They struggled against power conference teams, and suffered several blowout losses, including a second round NCAA Tournament loss to Iowa State where they weren't competitive. It was one of the worst seasons in recent school history, and one fans are hoping not to repeat this coming year.
To that end, coach Mark Pope went out and rebuilt the roster, adding players who fit what he wants to do, and who have lots of potential. He also landed one of the transfer portal's best players in sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic.
The addition of Momcilovic, along with Alex Wilkins, Zoom Diallo, and others, resulted in Kentucky's transfer class being ranked as the third best in the country. That ranking has led to CBS Sports calling the Wildcats one of 25 teams who are national championship contenders.
Since 2018, per their report, every national champion has had either a top 20 recruiting class, a top 20 transfer class, or returned their top scorer. Obviously, Kentucky qualifies for the list based on their transfer class.
That terrific group of transfers joins returning talents like Kam Williams, Malachi Moreno, and Braydon Hawthorne to make up what could be Pope's most complete team yet. Kentucky hasn't been a true championship contender since well before John Calipari left, and Big Blue Nation is desperate to change that. Could this be the year they make a deep run in March? CBS Sports thinks they can.
