What are everyone's thoughts on this week's game?

[Portsmouth98]

Doesn't look like Marietta has been able to slow down anybody much on defense. Jackson is gaining steam each week and will probably be too much for the Tigers.

I like Jackson to stay unbeaten

[blacksheep]

talked to some players tonite at the apple fest,Arthur,and derrick are both out for a week...i think the rest of the guys step it up this week and we will be 6-0....very few flags fri. nite,imo it made a huge diff. in our "o"and "d"...very proud of our boys... pre game was awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!way to go IRONMEN....keep it up and stay focused...

blacksheep,

You're right. The other guys will have to pick up the slack if Arthur and Meredith are out. Drew Ervin has been playing well all season and Landrum did a very nice job filling in for Klay against GAHS. Eric has played all over the field and just continues to step up wherever he is needed...great kid and a great leader for the Ironmen. I think those guys, along with everyone else, will be up to the task again this week.

I also agree with you about pre-game. I really love what it does for the game atmosphere and intensity level.

Good luck to coach Hall and the Ironmen!

Jackson 6-0 after six games. About as good as you can do.

[ocho stinko]

Clay being out will hurt. We were absolutley moving the ball at will against gallia before he got hurt. The score could have gotten real ugly having him the second half. Look for Kruize and winchester to hook up alot friday.

[Ironman92]

2old.....is that a regional ranking guess or a type o?

[Paladin]

This will be an easy Jackson win. The Tigers have really fallen off the talent wagon and have for years. Jackson has the bulk of their problem games ahead of them, just not this one.

Jackson 21-7

[Ironman92]

Be very careful this game!....a potential overlook game for sure.


Players must ignore records and stay focused. Coach Hall seems to be doing an excellent job of that thus far.

[2old]

92,

it is corrected, but it was dark in the basement this morning.

[Crazy Legs]

kids have to stay focused even with 2 key guys hurt. Eric Landrum will be huge Friday this kid is having a huge year. All over the place should play a bigger role on offense Friday. Coach Hall has played allot of people this year for situations like these when guys go down they can easily fill the holes. Jackson 28-14, keep it rolling

[camnott]

Jackson is fairly deep with good get it done running backs. Notice I don't say great but that's what makes Jackson so dangerous this year. It has to be a team effort each week and each week they get it done. I agree that we can't be complacent but if they stay focused I predict Jackson rolling 38 to 14.

[hardrock21]

Can anyone give an update on Marietta's injuries? If Marietta were somewhat healthy I could give them a chance in this game as Marietta-Jackson have played some great games in recent memory.

[BeatsInThaSoutheast]

Jackson - 34
Marietta - 6

Jackson will have some tough games eventually but this wont be one of them.
Good Luck Jackson!

[TrojanXplosion]

Jackson gets it done. Maybe Jackson does the Astro.
