WK 1 Jackson @ Wellston

[boilermaker]

Thanks 02 , I agree The Rockets must improve on defense.

[Ironman92]

I thought last year Cody Huff could've been a 1500 yard back...but of course Smith was much deserving of many carries.

IF ( hopefully no kiss of death here) Huff can stay mostly healthy AND his line is solid...AND there is some (either) a passing threat or another possible running threat (QB).....Huff could be the POY in the South.

His running reminds me a bit of his coach.

Cody impressed me last year,he with Landrum should be a good combo.
Good Luck and Good Health this year.

It might already be posted somewhere, but when and where does Jackson scrimmage Wheelersburg? How good is the burg suppose to be this year?

[Keyser_sozeThrice]

good luck rockets.

i hope they are better then last year.


i hope for an injury free game. and some good football.. cause it is FOOTBALL time..

[MOBSTERMAN]

I got the Rockets endin the streak this year
17-14

[2old]

I would LOVE to see the Rockets return to Victory lane over Jackson, but i believe the MOB will have to be involved for that to happen.

[ocho stinko]

I'll predict Jackson 35- Wellston 12. However, this may change after the scrimmage Friday. I hope to make it to the scrimmage and opener.

[formula97]

wellston will be better this year but i look for jackson to win this one 34-14 and the streak continues...

[Ted Striker]

I think Jackson will keep that pimp hand strong in this one. I say 2 scores, minimum.

[Apollo Creed]

Wellston is improved.......... but not ready for the Ironmen........

Jackson BIG at CH Jones.

[ironman02]

The scrimmages for both teams are now over. Wellston is much improved from last year and has a nice set of skill players that could be very dangerous next Saturday night. Jackson has some work to do this week to get ready for the opener, but I'm confident that they'll be ready to go against their arch rival next weekend. If the Jackson offensive line and defensive lines come together well, they should be a pretty good football team this year.

I'm still picking the Ironmen to walk out of C.H. Jones Field with their streak against the Rockets intact.

[boilermaker]

Wellston will have to be ready for this game ,,always a tough starting game for my Rockets.

[Ty Webb]

Didn't Mantell and Wolford have a little"tiff" following last year's game. Hmmmm.....this game could turn into to a battle, or a blowout.

Don't get me wrong....I like both of them, they're both class people. Sometimes, though, competitive spirits "take over" and pay-backs are hard on the loosing team.

Hope its a great game. I'm guessing neither team will lack for passion Saturday.

[boilermaker]

That "Tiff" has been resolved by both coaches.

[Ty Webb]

That "Tiff" has been resolved by both coaches.

Yeh right.

[boilermaker]

Ty you need a bigger stick to stir this pot.

[9697ironmen]

NYBuckeye96....The number one reason this game is played is the $$$$$$$$$$ from the gate. Too much for either school to pass up.

And, since it's at Wellston this year and on a Saturday night, that means even more $$$$$$$$$$$.

BTW, for those counting, the streak is at 17 for Jackson over Wellston.

Will it continue, or will this — as is repeated in Wellston on annual basis — be the year that the streak is snapped?

what was the last season the rockets beat the ironmen? for some reason i thought it was '88

Ty you need a bigger stick to stir this pot.

No pot-stirring Boilermaker, I just know these two communites need a little "material" to get charged up for this game.
