Jackson-Olin had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Their defense stepped up to hand the Fairfield Tigers a 24-0 shutout on Friday. The Mustangs haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.
The critical scores for Jackson-Olin came from Javion Jones, Derrion Lewis, and Tristian Carter.
One reason for the win was Jackson-Olin's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Wylam Wright was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Carter got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Jackson-Olin wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next match, a 46-8 loss against Hartselle on the 29th. After each having a week off, Fairfield and Pleasant Grove will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on September 5. This will be the Tigers' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
