A Season-Best Effort from Demhir Jackson Leads Fleming Island over Parker
Fleming Island was led to victory by Demhir Jackson, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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 season, Jackson has averaged 20.3 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to nine.
