October 6, 2023 Hillsboro 21 - 63 Jackson

[Ironmen98]

Thought Jackson would take a step back this season with loss of QB, but they on a roll. Columbus teams don’t look overly impressive and can see Ironmen in mix for Regional championship.*

Jackson does a great job of developing players into very good football players by the time they’re needed at the high school level. The quarterback this year has taken care of the football better than anyone in a long time.

No doubt...Jackson got one of the best coaching staffs from here to Columbus. They got some real talent coming up from junior high level as well, so no drop-off in sight for the Ironmen.*

*a bunch of rain for 18 hours prior to the game

*slow natural grass wet field

*Hillsboro not getting any credit and a huge underdog to a team they can’t stand

I’ll guess Jackson is in for a fight, a wet, muddy, sloppy one

Jackson 27-21 on a late score after a questionable call goes their way.

This one didn't age well, not sure what anyone was thinking that Hillsboro would be able to keep this one close.

Played Western Brown well, played West well, blew out Courthouse, playing at home ….

I guess but WB sitting at 3-5, lost to some good teams but still they're not strong against the run, same with West defense isn't great and up until this week WCH was spiraling out of control. Anyone who has seen the Jackson defense play had to know this is pretty much exactly the way this game was going to go Jackson with probably one of the best run defenses in the area.

Understandable but they're not asking the QB to lead the team, Jackson is leaning on that backfield depth and allowing the defense to dictate the game. Currently Watterson, London and Bloom Carroll are playing very tough ball and once again Bloom Carroll is trotting out one of the best defenses in the region. Granville sitting there at 8-0 as well problem for Jackson when you start talking QB and winning a regional championship that's kind of what sets teams apart and you need that, just hope Jackson is doing enough to prepare Bodhi for that type of playoff run against some of these teams with stingy defenses.
