IF YOU WANT THE DETAILS
Jackson Academy · Jackson, MS · Raiders · Coach David Duggan · 5–0
Recent: W 63–40 @ Leake; W 46–0 vs Oak Forest; W 16–0 vs McGill-Toolen; W 48–17 @ Picayune; W 24–14 vs Hartfield. Also scheduled @ St. Joseph Madison (9/25) before this trip.
Offense
#9 Peyton Smith, Jr. — QB
#6 Aaric Beasley, Sr. — RB
#5 Austin Clark, Jr. — RB
#3 Vaiden Taylor, Sr. — WR / OLB
#4 Braylan Short, So. — WR
They score in bunches early and stay physical. Expect a physical MAIS district fight, not a track meet.
Defense / Line
#73 Caden Moss, Sr. — T / DT (6′5″, 305)
#2 Ashton Blackmon, Sr. — DB
#8 Randy Cooper, Sr. — FS
#24 Adam Alexander, Jr. — MLB / RB
#14 Gus Summers, Jr. — LB / TE
Size up front and experience in the secondary. Last year’s win was low-scoring and physical.
How we win
Win the line with Giordano’s group. Run Wade and Herrin. Protect Essary. Tackle Beasley and Clark in space. Four quarters — no letdown after Homecoming.

Prep slight edge at home · Total ~49

JA has not lost yet and owns last year’s meeting. Home field and a red crowd are the difference if we play four clean quarters. Do not sleepwalk into a rivalry game.
