Brad Robertson didn’t put up gaudy numbers in Week 5 of the high school football season.
Numbers are one thing, but determination, leadership and a big heart helped the Hokes Bluff senior quarterback grab the top spot in this week’s Dirty Dozen.
Robertson accounted for just 143 yards, but he scored four touchdowns in leading the Eagles to a 27-24 win over rival Glencoe.
His game-winning 10-yard touchdown run in overtime set off a wild celebration at Eagle Stadium. He also scored the game-tying touchdown with just 22 seconds remaining in regulation.
