JCS Weekly Report

Game Recap...

All the hard work of summer behind them the Eagles hosted the Vikings of Fayette Academy tonight at Ronnie Fowler Field...the Eagles won the toss and deferred...good choice as the defense forced a turn over on the second play from scrimmage and Cody Jones took the Eagles down the field to be capped off by a short toss to Zach Parker and with Jones kick jumped out to a 7 point lead...the Eagles struck later in the first period on a Jones to Jon David Johnson pass and with the kick made it 14-0 at the end of the Quarter...the second quarter's only score came when Cody Jones broke the pocket feeling pressure and raced down the home sidelines to paydirt...at the Half it was all JCS...21-0...the Eagles using Jones legs again scored in the early 3rd Quarter and with the kick stood at 28-0...just as it looked the Eagles were enroute to a blow out against a team that has always played them tuff, the Vikings decided to mount a comeback...a long run through the heart of the JCS defense resulted in a score and with the kick the lead was reduced to 28-7...after a quick turnover by the Eagles and a Quarter change a very talented FA quarterback playing with alot of heart was flushed from the pocket and looking about to be sacked slung a sidearm pass into the end zone to his waiting receiver...with the kick the lead had been cut in half to 28-14...the rest of the final period was dominated by a JCS defense that refused to yield any more scores...

 

Notable...

The Vikings are a very atheletic and talented bunch...it is very apparent that they are well coached...the offense has changed...gone was the Smokehouse I that had given JCS so much trouble through the years...and while the line was not as big as most years and there was no guy named Bodiford at the helm, they put up a much better fight than the score indicates...

 

MVP...

Cody Jones...throwing for two scores and running for two more as well as adding all four PAT's Cody had a huge night...

 

Honorable Mentions...

Zack Parker...great Hands and took the big hits and held on

Jon David Johnson...great routes and great hands

Draye Bowels...big catches, will be fun to watch for a long time...

Will Johnson...Electric out of backfield

The entire Defense in the 1st half...

Offensive Line...gave Cody time all night

 

Next Week...the Eagles travel to Martin to take on a loaded Westview team...as good as the Vikings were and as good as we played...next week will require a completely new level to be in the game...
