  • JMS teams fall

    Having beaten Jefferson Middle earlier this season at Oak Ridge, the Jacksboro Lady Eagles came into Monday night’s rematch with confidence that they duplicate the feat.

    But Jefferson surprised the Lady Eagles by turning a close game into a 33-15 victory on Jacksboro’s home court.

    Defense was instrumental for Jefferson in avenging a 26-24 loss on Nov. 18, 2008.

    The victory avenged Kentucky’s 23-13 loss during last year’s inaugural game held at the University of the Cumberlands.

    Though attendance was down from last year’s record crowd of 5,500, approximately 4,000 spectators braved a bitterly cold afternoon to watch some of the best high school senior football players from both states battle for bragging rights.
