JHS plays at Seymour tonight

by Austin Bainbridge

The football team takes on Seymour on the road after getting defeated 67-20 by Lawrence Central in their first contest of the season last Friday.

The Red Devils go into tonight’s contest at Seymour expecting a tough match-up.

“Seymour’s a good team in my opinion. We’re going to have to play good football to win. If we go there and don’t play our best, we will lose,” said head coach Nick Cotner.

A new face on the varsity team, junior running back Jaylen Howard, picked up steam against Lawrence Central in his first varsity start and looks forward to more against Seymour.

“For my first varsity start, I thought it was really good. I had like 80 yards with a touchdown, so pretty good. I’m ready to do even better against Seymour, though,” said Howard.

One of the main components of the loss to Lawrence Central was special teams giving up 21 points, and Cotner isn’t ready to let it happen again.

“This loss is on me. Twenty-one points on kickoff alone is unacceptable, and that’s on me for not preparing us. Even with me coming into the job late, we need to be better. We’re going to be more in-depth in practice to be ready for Seymour,” said Cotner.

The team has identified some other parts of their game that need to improve as well.

“The d-line and special need to be better; along with that linebackers just couldn’t fill holes,” said sophomore linebacker General McLain.

The Red Devils have spent the week preparing for the Owls.

“We need to watch a lot of film and get better so we know exactly what we’re doing out there,” said junior Brayden Bachman.

The theme of better practices throughout the week is echoed by other players.

“Staying focused in practice is essential. If we do that, we’ll come out with the win,” said junior linebacker Cooper Spaulding.

The team has addressed their faults against Lawrence Central and are ready to take on the rest of the season, starting with Seymour.

“I think we did a lot of good stuff on offense through the air and ground game,” said Cotner. “If we could be a little more consistent, we definitely would’ve had a closer game. I think we can take a good week of practice and come out with a win.”

Red Devils look for season’s first win against Seymour tonight

by Austin Bainbridge

Seymour and Jeff are hunting for their first wins of the season, and everyone’s ready for the Friday Night Lights tonight.

“I’m super excited man counting the days down until Friday and just mentally preparing myself for Friday,” said head football coach Joe Washington.

Seymour showed some Week 1 slopiness last Friday in a 38-8 loss against Greenwood, throwing two interceptions.

“I’m hoping that we’ll be able to get a lot of turnovers this week. If they throw the ball up I think we have the guys in the secondary to make plays and hopefully turn some of those picks into touchdowns,” said Washington.

Jeff is also out to a slow start after a 37-0 loss to Cincinnati Taft, and lost their starting quarterback Cordell Thomas. Sophomore Brayden Bachman will fill in.

“It’s Bachman’s first start, so you kind of expect there to be some jitters. We’re going to help him out with short passes and running the ball effectively,” said Washington.

Jeff has confidence in this game even after the loss to Taft.

“I expect a good game from Seymour, but we are the better team,” said sophomore tackle Jaxx Long.

Jeff is trying to find a silver lining in the loss from Taft.

“I would like the loss to influence us in a positive way. Even though there’s a lot of negativity around it, if they put it into perspective Taft is probably going to be the best team we’ll play until sectionals,” said Washington.

Seymour has several impact players that could turn the tide in their favor.

“Their running back number three (Traysean Hawkins) is a real shifty guy; he runs the ball hard, and they have an offensive linemen that has worked really hard. He’s lost 50 pounds this offseason, he’s a really big kid,” said Washington.

The team has been putting in work at practice all week and feel prepared for tonight.

“We have prepared a good defense and ran scout team all week so I’m confident for this game,” said Long.

Washington had been suspended for both the Madison scrimmage and Week one against Taft. Tonight is his first opportunity to be back on the field and he’s ready.

“I’m excited. It’s like having my boys around. I’m sick of not having my guys around, and it’s my happy place, you know,” said Washington.
