Jackson Red Devils Blank Monticello 7-0
By Frank Hearn
Jackson’s Red Devil de
fense has kept the local
gridders in the game for the
last three contests. Friday
night it was no different over
on “The Hill” as Monticello’s
Purple Hurricanes came to
visit. Overcoming mistakes
by their own offense with
more tough defense, The
Devil “Headhunters” im
proved their scoreless string
to 10 quarters with a 10-0
shutout. Whenever the of
fense decides for all eleven to
execute, block, and eliminate
needless mistakes together
the whole bunch will put it all
together - offense and
defense -and blow somebody,
out of the game early.
Jackson could not move
from the 41, where Willie
Ward had returned the
opening kickoff. Monticello
could not move either and
punted to The Devils, who
again could not move.
Monticello fair catches at
their 45 and quickly passes 31
yards and a first down at the
27 yard line. Good defense on
successive plays by John
Freeman, Leon Smith and
Charlie Stewart kept Monti
cello from scoring on a
screen pass and a long toss.
Jackson took over on downs
when the Hurricanes in
purple gambled on fourth
and a long seven yards. On
third down Jackson gets its
initial first down on a well
executed draw to Mike
Barber. Tim Kersey ran to
the 38 and another first down.
However the drive halted at
the Hurricane 33 when the
Devils’ fourth down pass fell
incomplete. The first quarter
ended as Monticello took
over once again.
The Devil defense held
after allowing one first down.
Then Standifer kicked long to
the five to put Jackson in a
hole. Kersey threw a perfect
strike to Leon Smith for 43
yards, taking the heat off at
their 46. This was short
breathing room because
three plays later on a screen
pass to Ward, who then
passed long for Tommy Sims
an interception by Minter
stopped the drive. Jackson’s
defenders rose to the
occasion again, finally halt
ing the Hurricane drive at
the 10-yard line. Pressure
was back on the defense in
only three plays when the
“Canes” recovered a fumble
at the Devil 22. Monticello
completed a pass into the end
zone and out again to the

was fortunate to go into half
time with a Zero-Zero tie.
As the second half started
Standifer quickly began
where he left off. Moving out
to the midfield stripe in five
plays from their 22, the
Hurricane quarterback was
about to pitch out on a sweep
when he fumbled at the 43

picked it up and raced to the

punt it away. Ward gave the
Devils excellent field position
at the 48. Terry Shivers’ fine
running gave the Devils a
first at the 33 yard stripe.
Reggie Henderson and Mer

A screen pass to Shivers at

CEDRIC EVANS
6’o” 158 Lb.
Junior End
Cedric Evans is one of
the most improved ball
players on the team this
year. After two impres
sive years on the Junior
varsity team Cedric was
moved up to the varsity to
give extra depth to the
receivers. Cedric has
good speed and is a sure
pass catcher. The coach
ing staff has also realized
that Cedric can fill in at
line-backer when needed.
Cedric has been sidelined
for the past two games
with a severe ankle
sprain, but he should be
back for the Morgan
County game.

JOHN LOFTIN
5’7”—140 Lb.
Senior Guard
John Loftin is the
smallest man on the 1977
Red Devil squad, but
pound for pound he is one
of the toughest. John
started as a guard last
year and has earned a
solid hold on one of the
guard positions again this
year. He has been a
standout blocker in all
three games this season.
Against Hogansville, he
graded out 94 percent for
his blocking duties and
was named the offensive
player of the game. John
also excells in wrestling
and this year should be
one of the top wrestlers in
his weight classification.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1977
A week’s work in a night.
Never anything routine any
more.
Monticello wasn’t out for
the count as two Devil
misques (fumbles) put the
heat on the overworked
defense late in the fourth
quarter. Stan Nelson, Bennon
Prine, Terry Smith and John
Freeman kept the pressure
on quarterback Standifer as
he tried to complete despera
tion passes. Time ran out as
the Devils sat on the football.

BARRY BROOKS
6’1”—183 Lb.
Sophomore Defensive
End
Barry Brooks is one of
the best defensive ends
ever to play at Jackson
High. Only a sophomore
this year, many great
things are in store for
Barry as a varsity
football player. Barry
was moved up to the
varsity last year after an
outstanding junior var
sity season. He started
the last two games of the
season and was named to
the prep honor roll for the
tremendous job that he
did against Pike County.
Very few ball players
have ever started at
Jackson as a freshman,
so keep your eye on him.
