Both Jackson Prep (11-0) and Madison-Ridgeland Academy (8-4) have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Friday at 7:00 PM to determine who is worthy to move on. Madison-Ridgeland Academy will need to watch out since Jackson Prep has posted big point totals in its previous eight matchups.
Jackson Prep has netted another blowout to add to its collection (now totaling nine) after its most recent game. It took its contest against Parklane Academy two weeks ago by a conclusive 41 - 14 score. With three TDs, junior Jerrion Ealy was a significant factor in the success. This sound performance was nothing new for Ealy, who has been a rock for Jackson Prep in the past 11 games.
Meanwhile, Madison-Ridgeland Academy extended its back-to-back wins into a three-game streak in its previous match. Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, it beat Presbyterian Christian 28 - 23 last week.
The last time they met, Jackson Prep was the 34 - 7 victor. Its win shoved Madison-Ridgeland Academy out of the playoffs, so the team will have a target on its back in this one.
