Jackson Academy picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Omarean Ellis. Ellis did his part (and then some), rushing for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry for the 'W'.
Ellis might have his next game, a road matchup with Madison-Ridgeland Academy, circled on his calendar. Ellis rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in October of 2023.
