Jackson is a complete different team without McCoy. Jackson gets ready for basketball and wrestling.

Playing in the Ohio High School Playoffs is a great honor and achievement . Jackson is riddled with injuries but Jackson Ironmen football prides itself on being hard nosed . Will not predict a score. The Ironmen will show up and fight hard .

So mccoy is out? Sorry i did not hear how bad the injury was.

[Raider6309]

Independence 21
Jackson 7

Sucks McCoy is out

[ohwkGREATNESSyrio]

Yea if mccoy was in i'd give jackson a fighting chance. If he's out thats a big time player. i'd say 27-7

[GoIrish]

Independence beat Marion Franklin, MF stomped Chillicothe, Chilli came away with a win against injury riddled Jackson.

Independence takes this one.

[Ironman92]

Independence had 3 real nice wins.

Jackson will give it their all. They will contain them fairly well I believe but will definitely have to make plays to stand a chance to win.

Why not?

Go Jackson

I was told earlier in the year by someone who saw Independence on tape that their RB is a serious D1 player.

I have heard something similar. Think they have another solid RB too.

From what I have seen, they are a team that loves to run the football. Pretty solid offensive line and very good RBs. That might play to Jackson's strength, but still gonna be a tough task for the Ironmen.

As others have said, Jackson will show up and play hard with what they have. Hopefully that'll be enough to pull off an upset!

Best of luck to the Jackson Ironmen. Go represent the FAC. We all know you won’t be a pushover.

[seasick80]

Good luck Jackson!

[Paladin]

My pick is Indy who beat Marion Franklin with a strong run game. Jackson is a 3 TD underdog or worse.

[ohwkGREATNESSyrio]

^^^speak it

The two best players Jackson has ever faced in the playoffs...Jackson has won those games. Both big time D1 guys with Sunday talent

Hoping to find a way

[nybucksgrad06]

Good Luck to the Ironmen. Leave it all on the field and anything is possible. Hope you pull off the upset!

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Independence speeds their way to a 21 point win.
