JTV Sports Player of the Year Suddeth anchored Jackson High to eight wins and playoff appearance with dominant running By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson – His summer routine was one dedicated to basketball. And spending most of that time in the Detroit area playing with his AAU team, Shonte Suddeth admitted there was little time to focus or work on football before training camp started. “For a few years, I had people telling me, ‘this was going to be the year,’” he said of the football team. “So this summer, I decided to do whatever I could to make sure that happened.

We had some adversity, but we were able to grow from it.” It would take time, and Farley knew patience would have to accompany his teaching. In 2013, the Vikings went 2-7. In 2014, just 1-8. “When you have kids that buy into the vision, it makes a big difference,” Farley added.
