CLAYTON IS GRIFFIN'S YOUNGER BROTHER. NOT AS BIG AS GRIFFIN BUT PERFECT SIZE FOR LINEBACKER 6'2" 205LBS AS AN UPCOMING JUNIOR.

The competition last year was very tough. According to CoachT's strength of schedule listing Jackson North Side had the 2nd toughest schedule in the state last year in 4A. He can take the punishment and hope to see him play at the next level.

On the defensive side of the ball they have Clayton Smith back as a junior linebacker. As a sophomore he recorded almost 100 tackles in 9 games. They expect big things from him. Also all the linemen on both sides of the ball are bigger and stronger than in past years.

I heard he was tranfering to Mckenzie

Mann does have what it takes to go to the next level. he is fast, quick and very elusive, also very strong which enables him to go inside or outside the tackles. Would like to see him used in a more versatile role and mix his carries up to include in the slot, wide out and also with a two back backfield. He does have all the tools to go on barring any injuries.

CORDARIUS MANN FROM JACKSON NORTH SIDE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THAT LIST. AS A JUNIOR HE HAD JUST OVER 2000 RUSHING YARDS LAST YEAR WITH THE SECOND TOUGHEST SCHEDULE IN THE STATE IN 4A ACCORDING TO COACHT. LOOKING FOR SOME MORE OF THE SAME THINGS FROM HIM THIS YEAR.

CLAYTON SMITH FROM JACKSON NORTH SIDE IS ALREADY BRINGING ATTENTION AS A SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER THIS YEAR. HE FINISHED WITH 93 TACKLES IN ONLY PLAYING 9-1/2 GAMES. HE'S GOT GOOD SIZE AT 6-2 200LBS. AND GOOD SPEED. HE'S A HEADHUNTER THAT LOVES TO HIT. WORD HAS IT HE'LL BE IN AT TE IN '09 ALSO.

THANK YOU FOR THE REST OF THE STORY. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FOOD AND THE GAME. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE NORTH SIDE HAS BEEN TO A PLAYOFF.

YOU'RE RIGHT THIS IS WHAT HIGH SCHOOL BALL IS ABOUT AND IT'S A SHAME THAT THESE WORRIES ARE EVEN INVOLVED AT ALL. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY. WILL I BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PROPERTY IN ANY WAY WHEN I SEE IT ORANGEMOUND4EVER? HOPE YOUR NEIGHBORS THERE ARE AS CORDIAL AS YOU SEEM TO BE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP FRIDAY NIGHT.

THANKS GUYS,THESE COMMENTS ARE VERY REASSURING TO THE JNS FANS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE CARS PARKED OUTSIDE THE STADIUM IN YEARS PAST. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE GAME BUT ARE JUST A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE SURROUNDINGS. SOUNDS LIKE THE NEGATIVE TALK MAY BE JUST RUMORS. LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD NIGHT AT THE MOUND.

YOU ARE RIGHT ON ALL POINTS HERMIT. JNS QUARTERBACK IS ONLY IN HIS 2ND YEAR OF EVER PLAYING FOOTBALL BUT IS IMPROVING SOME EVERY GAME. YES, WE HAVE HAD MANY DROPPED PASSES AND WE VIRTUALLY NEVER USE THE FULLBACK OR TIGHT END. ALL OF THIS IS WHAT I MEANT BY OPENING UP OUR OFFENSIVE GAME. OUR OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS ASSISTANT COACH JASON MCCAULEY. WAY TOO CONSERVATIVE IN MY OPINION.

I THINK JNS AND MELROSE COULD BE A VERY CLOSE GAME. JNS WILL HAVE TO OPEN UP THEIR GAME TO KEEP 9 PLAYERS OUT OF THE BOX, WHICH THEY HAVEN'T DONE VERY OFTEN THIS YEAR. IF THEY WILL, I GIVE NORTH SIDE THE EDGE, IF NOT IT COULD BE A LONG RIDE HOME. FAIRLEY WILL TAKE HARDIN CO HENRY CO WILL ROLL MUNFORD WILL TAKE KINGSBURY AGAIN

WELL, IT WASN'T THAT PRETTY, BUT IT WAS A WIN FIRST TIME TO REACH THE PLAYOFFS IN 5 YEARS I THINK

BUT IS A FINE BACK OBVIOUSLY YOU DID

YOU SAID IT!!!!!!!! IT SHOULD BE A GOOD NIGHT AT THE RESERVATION

LIGHTEN UP PROPHET!!!!!!! NOWHERE DID I SAY OR INTEND TO SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT ALLEN OR ANY OF THE OTHER BACKS. AS YOU KNOW BACKS ARE GENERALLY RATED ON THEIR OVERALL STATS. BLOCKS AND FAKE HANDOFFS ARE NOT PART OF THE STATS THAT ARE COMPILED BUT ARE VERY NECESSARY AND AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT BACKS PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL TEAM PERFORMANCE. WE ALL KNOW THOSE ARE IMPORTANT BUT ARE NOT TALLIED WHEN CONSIDERING THE BEST BACKS IN THE STATE. ALTHOUGH I'M NOT A HILLARY CLINTON FAN I FAIL TO BE AMUSED BY YOUR COMMENT. HOW DID I MAKE MYSELF LOOK BETTER IN WHAT I SAID? OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE, LIKE YOURSELF, THAT USE THIS AS AN OUTLET TO RANDOMLY THROW OUT CONTROVERSY. LIGHTEN UP PROPHET, NOTHING NEGATIVE WAS MEANT

SORRY, DON'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU PAST FIRST ROUND

HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD MUCH ABOUT SEWARD SO I CAN'T SAY ABOUT HIM D. ALLEN CAN BE SHUT DOWN AS SHOWN BY JACKSON NORTH SIDE, BUT IS A FINE BACK MARSALIS TEAGUE WAS THE ALL AROUND BEST BACK I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR EXCLUDING MANN. WEST TN DOES HAVE SOME GOOD REPRESENTATION THIS YEAR

I KNOW! I'VE HEARD THEIR DEFENSE IS AWESOME THIS YEAR. VERY FAST AND STUBBORN. ALSO HEARD THEIR OFFENSE IS NOT WHAT IT NORMALLY IS. MAYBE THAT WILL GIVE SOMEONE FROM REG#7 A FIGHTING CHANCE TO PULL THE UPSET

AT LEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AGREE MELROSE GOES DOWN IN 1ST ROUND

ALL THESE GAMES SHOULD BE BIG WINS BUT YOU CAN NEVER TELL THIS YEAR: BRIGHTON WINS BIG MUNFORD WINS BIG,BIG JNS WINS BIG HENRY CO SHOULD WIN 3-TDS

C. MANN FROM JACKSON NORTH SIDE WILL BE HARD TO BEAT BASED ON HIS STATS AND JNS STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE. AND HE IS A GREAT KID AND JUST A JUNIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S GOT MY VOTE

AS LONG AS THEY STAY FOCUSED, THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME TO LEAD THEM INTO THE PLAYOFFS

DON'T THINK THIS WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HAVE A GAME WINNING CATCH
