USJ vs JCS

Two undefeated teams! JCS has easily handled a pretty light schedule so far, but look to have multiple serious weapons on offense. You know they'll have revenge on their minds after last year too.

USJ has dominated their opponents so far. I think they're a little more stout up front and will have the best athlete in the field at #1 who is a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball. USJ's secondary has yet to be tested like they will be this week though.

If Couch Stroup is able to come back in the fold I think USJ is about 7 points better thanks to their size up front. Looking forward to a great game!

Not much love lost between these 2 teams as the long-time rivalry became an in-region rivalry once again last year. Both teams boasting 4-0 records with stingy defenses (allowing <10 ppg) and prolific offenses (40 and 48 ppg). JCS has all their receiving weapons back as seniors this year, but the new QB has been at least as productive with his legs as he has with his arm in a much more balanced attack. USJ offense made good use of the field position provided by the defense in the first 3 games, but this past Friday night opened things up against TRA.

The Bruins may be a little more battle tested by facing slightly better opponents overall. The one common opponent was TRA and both teams dominated the Rebels equally. JCS has good size on the line, but the physicality of the USJ big uglies will be the biggest challenge they have seen to date. With #27 kicking the ball and #1 returning the ball, USJ has the advantage on special teams as they likely will in every game they play this year.

This was a one-sided high scoring affair last year but I expect it to be much tighter this year. Bruins should come away with win for homecoming but this one will be a game into the 4th quarter.

Has JC ever beaten USJ in football?  I thought I heard someone one time say that it hasn’t ever happened.  Anyone have correct information? 

Coach t has records online going back to 2001. Since that time, Jackson Christian has defeated USJ a total of four times. The scores of those games are as follows:

Oct 4, 2003  JC 48  USJ 26

Aug 25, 2005 JC 27 USJ 8

Aug 24, 2006 JC 21 USJ 7. JC wins D1A state title.

Oct 19, 2007 JC 38 USJ 14

A bit of trivia for you. As the former radio voice for Jackson Christian football, I had the radio call of Jackson Christian's Last two wins against USJ. Since then, USJ has won 10 straight against Jackson Christian. The two teams did not play each other in a 2017 and 2018 football seasons. If the coach t records are correct, since 2001, USJ holds a 13-4 advantage in the overall series

Thanks!  I thought JC might have beaten them back when they won the Gold Ball.

Right now USJ is a well oiled machine and I don’t think anyone will compete with them except Davidson Academy.  I’m not sure how good King’s Academy and Friendship are.   Those two and MTCS are probably the only others that might compete.  This is their best chance for a Gold Ball especially if they happen to move up to AA.  They would do well in AA but wouldn’t dominate like they have in A.  JC may prove me wrong but I can’t see it.  USJ’s defense is stout and special teams are extra stout!

Here is another point. JC is slinging the ball around and putting up points. BUT USJ coaches will throw a completely different look offensively and defensively   Something that JC has not seen on film. That is huge in high school when a coaching staff can implement new schemes week to week. But it also helps to have the players that can take it in and produce. Special teams will account for 2 scores this game.

It's almost asinine to predict a game between two opponents when you know almost nothing about one of them, but just because I think that USJ can score on pretty much anyone and that their defense is very stout, I think they win going away. Not being critical of the Eagles, but after seeing the weapons that USJ has, I don't think they can match the Bruins score for score.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
