  1. I think Chester is the real deal this year. Fudge is doing a great job getting the ball rolling in Chester and I have a feeling they have some good years ahead of them.  They have a great team of boys. I cant remember who on the team are seniors this year but if most of them return they will continue to be great. There is nothing like watching Chester kick the ball off. You can tell those boys are head hunting. I have been seeing a lot of good tings out of Levi Watts lately. Also seems like Jutty Vaughn cant be stopped.  

    yes...the kick offs are quite fun to watch

  2. I messed up the previous entry somehow trying to quote......

     

    Fair enough.  And although we will never meet up with Division 2 Calvert, the spreads are opinions just like these rankings.  Sometimes they're accurate..sometimes not.  That's why it's played out on the field.  Like I stated earlier, I like our ranking right now even though it means nothing come Round 1 this weekend.  We take one game, one team at a time.  If we keep winning, we will eventually come up on a team that we will be 45 point underdogs.   But win or lose we have still had an amazing year...one that we haven't seen in football in 44 years.  It's a great time to be a Yellowjacket.

  3. Yes...The Jackets are 9-0 and District Champs!   If I did my research correctly, the last district title was 1989 (26 years).  I believe there had been a 3 way tie sometime later, but a coin toss kicked Jackets out of playoffs.  The following is the other info I found...if anyone has better info, please share.

    Last winning season was 6-4 in 2004 (11 years);  2014 was 1st playoff berth since 1992 (22 years) as well as first district WIN in our 6-man history (5 years).  Last playoff win was 1971 when Jackets won their region in Class B, which was as far as they could go.  They went 11-0-1 that year with their only blemish being a tie in regular season with Colmesneil.  We are looking to win our first playoff game in 44 years. The 2015 Jackets have an unblemished regular season..the first ever.  However, to stay undefeated and completely unblemished to surpass that amazing team from 1971, we would have to win state.

    I cannot express how proud I am of these boys that wear purple.  Our team had minimal change of players from 2014 to 2015, but their heart, drive, focus and desire to win completely changed their chemistry and performance on the field.  The talent was always there...they just finally broke out of the rut they were in, pulled it together and executed on the field.  Their hard work paid off.  I feel that this team has the potential to go deep in the playoffs, but even if they don't, I am so proud of the way they have played and fought to win, and how well they have represented our school and our community.  I have to say that God has blessed us with the best kids ever!

    We have to wait another week to find out who we meet in the playoffs from District 15.  But no matter the opponent, I think these guys will be ready and willing to face any team that comes their way.  9-0 baby! 9-0!  Bleed Purple.
