Demhir Jackson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Demhir Jackson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Fleming Island to the win on Friday. Jackson rushed for 218 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 134 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Jackson has averaged 20.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to nine.
