Red Devils begin sectional play tonight against Floyd Central

by Austin Bainbridge

Jeff is looking for a sectional win over Floyd Central tonight, a team they beat with a buzzer beater 49-48 in January.

“We are a better team than we were when we first faced Floyd; it’s not going to take any late game scores to get us the win this time,” said sophomore center Cornelius Weobong

Jeff isn’t the highest ranked team in the sectional, but head coach Sherron Wilkerson said anything can happen in the post-season.

“On paper, I think that we can win the sectional. I know that we were probably third right now, I would say, in the segments. But I would say if everything came together, I think that we can win the sectional for sure,” said he said.

The Red Devils know the stakes in playing against a rival in a win or go-home game and need to keep themselves in check.

“We have got to mature really fast. I think there are two things that we have to do — number one, we have to understand how much effort it takes to play at this level. 
And then I think the second thing that we have to realize is how much we have to control our emotions,” said Wilkerson

The roster has been cut down to just 12 players for sectionals and they are expected to play unselfishly for the team.

“I think it’s really just like the entire team’s going to step up. You know, we’re all going to come together as one and play for the name on the front. There may be some specific players, but I feel like we’re all just going to play for the name on the front, try to get the win,” said sophomore center Demauri Crosby.

Jeff comes in winning both of their last games by 24+ points and expects that momentum to carry into the playoffs.

“Those wins certainly have given us a boost that we can ride through this whole thing to make it back to state,” said Weobong.

For the team it’s business as usual they want to keep everything the same to keep the players in flow.

“Nothing out of the ordinary. Just our normal day-to-day preparation. Our preparation has been the same since the first day that I took the job up until now. We’re preparing to finish these last three games in the sectional, like we prepared to win the state championship,” said Wilkerson.

Wilkerson said preparations for sectional and the state tournament remain the same as always. “Our preparation has been the same since the first day that I took the job up until now.” Photo by Malachi Conrad.
