  • The above schools are DIVISION II (Wellston) sectional teams and winning those games are huge for Athens … (4-1) against division foes (The one loss was @ Vinton County 75-78) is a very nice start for the Bulldogs - much different than last years 1 and 20 team …

Seeing how Athens has taken advantage of the early season it makes me feel a little better about Jackson’s chances of winning some games. Jackson missed nearly 20+ layups in the first 2 /12 quarters thus allowing Athens to remain close and when Athens awoke they just deflated the Ironmen.

The amount of "bunny" shots Jackson missed and playing without their all-league performer.

Good Luck to Athens the rest of the way.
