200 pound d line on average?  West jones every single player on the field over 200 pounds.  West will run wild against that. 
 

And if the prep qb can’t throw while on the run, cause he will be running a whole lot, they aren’t getting much on offense either. 

Prep's OL has good size. 6'6" 260 tackle; 6'2" 275 guard; 5'11" 245 center; 6'4" 230 guard; 6'8" 300 tackle. The primary subs on the OL are 6'2" 240 and 6'0" 210.

 

Prep's QB can throw from the pocket and on the run. He's also a pretty effective runner. I bet you'll be surprised at the effectiveness of the Prep passing game.

 

I do not believe West Jones will establish much of a passing game. Prep's secondary is really good, West Jones's QB is a freshman, and Prep does a good job of getting pressure on the opposing QB - even when the opponent has a large offensive line. Don't discount the value of quickness and smarts in the high school game.

 

My guess is that West Jones will tighten the splits on its OL and run the ball. Prep will counter that by loading the box with 7 men and playing man-to-man in the secondary. If West Jones can effectively gain 5-10 yards a run, it will probably win. If Prep does a reasonably good job controlling the run game, Prep will probably win.

 

My guess is that WJ will break off some runs but Prep will do a good job of limiting the WJ running game. 

 

Prep-24

West Jones-17

Yes, I fully expect JP to have the best passing attack that WJ has and will see this year. And I expect it to be a really good football game.

However, I don't see JP scoring 24 unless their defense or special teams chip in some. JP had 10 points at the 6:00 mark of the 4th QTR

against Jackson Academy. WJ defense looks to be a lot better than Jackson Academy. West Jones 27  JP 13.

That was the name of it back then.  I don’t even think the native Jacksonians knew it (Jackson Prep) with a different name.

Nah it was Prep from the inception. After Coach Carlisle left Murrah for Prep in 71, along with most of Murrah's team, it got that nickname for a few years.

I know.  My dad played for Jack Carlisle at Murrah and he said that’s what they called it.  It was Prep from the beginning, but it had that nickname.
