Tuesday marks 10 days until the Hoover High School football team kicks off the 2025 season.
Hoover edge rusher Justyn Hartley will take the field with his fellow Bucs on Aug. 22, as they hosts powerhouse IMG Academy out of Florida.
Hartley is one of the top players on one of the most talented defenses in the state, as Hoover will look to put an elite unit on the field once again this fall.
