Jamari Tenner Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Jefferson County got the W thanks in part to Jamari Tenner playing the best football he has all season. Tenner rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Jefferson County: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Tenner and Jefferson County will be playing in front of their home fans against South Pike at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Tenner up against the Eagles' star RB Douglas Wansley. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
