A Season-Best Performance from Jayden Jackson Leads Franklin over Troy
Franklin was led to victory by Jayden Jackson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Jackson rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 17.9 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Jackson might have his next game, a road matchup with Little River Academy, circled on his calendar. Jackson rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry the last time he and the Bumblebees duked it out back in November of 2023.
