Jackson Prep vs Copiah Academy 9/23 Review

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The contest between the Patriots and the Colonels ended in a 20-point difference in scores. What made the difference in the game was the high-level execution from the Patriots and them controlling the football. Below are some exceptional athletes who contributed to the great contest on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jackson Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='340775' first='Paxton' last='Thompson'], </strong>QB 6-0 175 Class of 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paxton was electric in Friday's contest against the Colonels. He completed passes with extreme accuracy, extended plays, and made significant decisions with the football. It was a testament to his ability as his team was matched against another well-respected football team. Nevertheless, Paxton rose to the occasion and proved his ability to make accurate passes against a difficult team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Will Upton, </strong>WR 5-9 165 Class of 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will was a receiver who was all over the place making incredible catches. One of those catches includes an 80-plus-yard touchdown reception that helped give the Patriots the edge they needed. Overall Will proved his reliability as well as his ability to get open against a notable defense. His speed and intensity make up for his lack of size which makes him an exceptional slot receiver who can play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Copiah Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='223762' first='DeJarious' last='Segrest'], </strong>MLB 6-0 210 Class of 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dejarious did an excellent job last week despite the results of the contest. He was consistently making tackles and following the ball carrier in order to make a play. This was certainly a true test of character as Segrest had to continue to keep his defense in check and continue to play at a high level. Regardless of the outcome Dejarious still proceeds to be an excellent athlete and prospect who can play the run and drop in coverage with great efficiency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
