Jackson Memorial is ten games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. Both it and Long Branch have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Friday to determine who is worthy to move on.
Jackson Memorial claimed a 22 - 14 victory over Brick Memorial last week.
Meanwhile, Long Branch didn't allow a single point to Middletown South last game and won 20 - 0. Sophomore Jermaine Corbett was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he rushed for 168 yards and one touchdown).
Their wins bumped Long Branch to 7-2 and Jackson Memorial to 6-4. Of course, Long Branch and Jackson Memorial can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Friday which team falters and which extends its success.
