Much to see from Jackson-Eureka gamePosted Saturday, October 20, 2007, at 4:55 AM
Jackson put together another very good defensive performance, forcing two fumbles and two interceptions, in its 21-20 victory against Eureka on Friday night.
The Indians (8-0) move into the driver's seat in the bid for the Class 5 District 1 title, though they will have to fight off the hangover of an emotional win against the No. 2 team in the state to take on Parkway West (5-3) and -- possibly -- heralded quarterback Blaine Gabbert on Friday. Jackson did show some weaknesses against the pass as Eureka scored on two passing plays, including a 64-yarder to take the lead for the first time at 20-14 with 4:06 remaining. Gabbert, who has committed to Nebraska but may also look at some other schools (including Missouri) before signing, has been out with an injury. Sophomore Tyler Gabbert threw three touchdown passes in Parkway West's 42-0 win Friday at Seckman, according to stltoday.com. Jackson also may have to worry about the extent of the left forearm injury for leading rusher Adam Zweigart. First, savor some of the sights and sounds from game: Jackson jumps on top for 7-0 lead on Marcus Harris' pass to Adam Zweigart Jackson is unable to convert on Eureka turnovers Jackson, Eureka trade possessions in first period Eureka scores after forcing a Jackson fumble Jackson drives 80 yards to take a 14-7 lead Eureka scores quickly to forge 14-14 halftime tie Defenses take over in scoreless third quarter Jackson has a field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter Eureka takes a 20-14 lead in the fourth quarter After long pass play, Cody Randen scores and Matt Lang kicks the winning point for Jackson Jackson stops Eureka's final drive on Lang's interception, celebrates win Jackson players Cody Randen, Adam Zweigart, Matt Lang and Marcus Harris talk after the game Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

I was really surprised to see Eureka coming close to beating Jackson at home. I have seen some close games this year, but Eureka came really close to shocking Jackson. The Indians better get their heads out of their butts if they want to get to the playoffs.
"NoDisclosure", Are you serious????
Eureka was rank #2 and Jackson #5. Hard to imagine that anyone would think Jackson would win in a walkover.
By no means was I serious, just trying to get some comments on this page. I thought posting a comment like that would wake someone out of their blog coma.
Jackson kicks butt!
