Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Jackson should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will challenge East Rockingham on the road at 7:00 PM. Jackson have seen their point totals decreasing over the past three games, a vulnerability East Rockingham are surely hoping to exploit.
Things haven't been easy for Jackson, and their matchup last Friday only extended their streak of losses to eight. They took a serious blow against Stuarts Draft last Friday, falling 0-42. Jackson were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-28.
Meanwhile, East Rockingham might be getting used to good results now that the squad has seven wins in a row. They came out on top against Buffalo Gap by a score of 35-28.
East Rockingham's victory lifted them to 7-0 while Jackson's loss dropped them down to 0-8. We'll see if East Rockingham's success rolls on or if Jackson are able to steal their positive momentum.
