Jackson High Football 2017

Consistency the key for Jackson football in tonight’s battle with Zeeland East

By Mike Moore                                                  File Photo by Ryan Kerwin, JTV Sports Staff Writer   Jackson — Of all the Week 1 craziness across the state in high school football, few games could have had the intrigue and drama as Jackson High’s did.   Up by 28.   Tied at 28.   A near touchdown waved off.   An overtime touchdown for the lead.   An overtime touchdown for the loss.   That’s the quick version of the Vikings’ 35-34 overtime loss last weekend to Marshall, a loss the guys in orange and black have to get past quickly entering tonight’s battle with Zeeland East.   “This is a very resilient group of kids,” coach Scott Farley said. “They came back and had a great week of practice.
