Honorable mention: D.J. Jackson, Verbena High School
D.J. Jackson had a great game against Maplesville High School on Oct. 15. Despite the fact that Verbena lost the game 61-20, Jackson had a hand in all three of Verbena’s touchdowns.
Jackson accounted for 284 all-purpose yards in the game, more than anyone else from either team. He completed a 32-yard pass for a touchdown, caught a 69-yard pass for a touchdown and took a kickoff back 90 yards for another touchdown, all in the first half of the game.
