By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Coming off a two-win season, the East Jackson High School girls’ basketball team was looking for redemption in 2019-2020. Weeks before regular season games started, EJHS head Coach Jerrell Sanders was charged with criminal sexual conduct third degree according to Jackson District Court 12 records. He was immediately released as varsity coach of East Jackson. Junior varsity coach Mike Mericle was moved to the varsity level. Probably not the kind of start East Jackson wanted. But the Trojans have responded with a 7-4 start overall, 5-2 in the Cascades Conference.

Despite having a torn ACL, Samon completed all of the jumps helping the Cardinals take an 11-point lead in the first round.
