Creekside is a perfect 3-0 against Jackson since October of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. After each having a week off, the two teams will shake off the rust and duke it out at 7:30 p.m. One thing working in Creekside's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
Jackson's offense is going to have their work cut out for them on Friday: Creekside hadn't allowed a single point the last five times they've hit the field. The Seminoles never let Drew get on the board and left with a 91-0 victory last Friday. The Seminoles' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Ced Kelley produced another solid effort rushing for 108 yards and five touchdowns on only seven carries. Those five rushing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Gary Walker was another major influence, as he rushed for 90 yards and ran in a TD.
Creekside's run defense was locked in: Drew could only muster 1.3 yards per carry. The team can thank Decari Farley for the heroic effort on defense: he. Creekside didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 12.9.
Creekside's defense didn't let John Fair III, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for 5.1 sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Cassius Burch and Tavarre Terrell, who racked up four sacks between them. Terrell is crushing it when it comes to sacks: he's posted at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Ziair Williams got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Jackson challenged Forest Park last Friday. The Jaguars blew past the Panthers, posting a 49-6 win. That looming 49-6 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Jaguars yet this season.
Jackson found their leader in sophomore Marcus Gray, who rushed for 11 yards and three scores, and also threw for 177 yards and a pair of TDs on only nine passes. Triston Ferguson helped out on the ground, rushing for 129 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Jackson's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 5.8 points on average over those games. As for Creekside, their record is now 8-0.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's matchup: Creekside has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 446.6 total yards per game. It's a different story for Jackson, though, as they've been averaging only 230.2 total yards. Will Creekside be able to march up the field at their leisure again, or will the Jaguars flip the script?
Everything came up roses for Creekside against Jackson in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 42-6 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Seminoles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
