all-conference and led the team in touchdowns. He was an
all-conference and honorable mention all-area selection plus aided
his team to a 12-2 record and the number one playoff seed as a
senior. Following his senior year he was a Shrine Bowl nominee.
Hedgspeth also played two years of basketball and competed in track
for four years in high school. He is only child of Jo Ann and
Alonzo Hedgspeth, Sr.
