COACH
JACOBS
Hello
All-
As the summer approaches, it is a necessity that we
get our practice field in shape. We are
starting to put treatments down to help the current
practice field conditions. So--Sunday Gatherings and
Open Field Sessions are cancelled as of today.
We want to make sure we have the best facility
available when Summer Opportunities start in June.
Please stay off the grass. We will also be
doing some renovations to the inside of the Complex
as well.
Pending school board approval, Camp/Opportunity
forms will be available soon. Please look for
them via e-mail and at each school.
The energy and enthusiasm is high. I can't
wait to actually move and start having some fun!
Contact me with questions.
Let's be special!!!!!!!
Thanks!!

was a struggle to find game articles, but alas pantherfb.org dug deep
into the archives of the old and now defunct Jersey County Democrat.
Although the material shows it's age and is very hard to read, most of
the game stories are more detailed than those from previous years.
Notice that the author of most of these stories was Frederick Miller a
Sophomore. Miller, joined the Varsity football team in 1929 as a Junior
and also played in 1930 while a Senior. He was a very special young man
and gets a special salute from this website for all he accomplished for
our football program.

Jerome "Bud" Aderton was

Bud was fast and took advantage of an opening when he saw one.

Annual Season Recap
This
was Jerseyville's first year of football. Although they didn't
make a brilliant showing, they must be given much
credit. It takes a year to learn football rules and the fundamental
principles of the game. Coach Norris worked faithfully every day at
teaching football to those who wished to learn the game. He deserves much
credit on the showing of our football team. Mr. Bayless and Mr. Kimes also
came out in suit at different times to help out. They got crippled up
every now and then, but they didn't mind this because they wanted to see a
football team in Jerseyville. Coach Norris has been trying to get a
football team here ever since he started coaching in Jerseyville and he
has now accomplished it.

Annual Season Recap
The first game of the season was with White Hall on Friday morning,
October 3, 1924. This was the first game that any of our team had ever
played and therefore were shaky at the knees. This proved to be a closer
game than any one thought it would be. Our team played well for the first
time and showed promises of improvement. The final score was J.T.H.S., 0;
W.H.S., 18. Not so bad for the first time?

The next game was with Edwardsville on Friday afternoon, October 10, 1924.
Edwardsville had an experienced team, because most of the players had
played together for two or three years. Our team was somewhat tired from
the ride, but they played their best and showed improvement over the first
game. The final score was J.T.H.S., 0; E.H.S., 27.

Annual Season Recap
The third game of the season was with Carrollton Alumni on October 13.
This was getting out of our class, but games were hard to get so we played
with whomever we could match a game. Everyone expected the game to be very
much one-sided on the fact that Carrollton had three and four-year letter
men on their team. Some of them were from the Carrollton High School and
the others were Alumni. Our team showed great improvement and held the
score rather low for this kind of team. They thought we had a good team
for first year. The final score was J.T.H.S., 0; Carrollton Alumni, 25.

Annual Season Recap
The next game was with Carrollton High School on Thursday afternoon,
October 16, 1924. Carrollton hadn't been defeated so far and wasn't
expecting to meet defeat here. They were all experienced men and knew the
tricks of football. They had one player on the team, when he got the ball
and got away it was all off because you couldn't catch him. We got the
worst beating of the season in this game. The final score was J.T.H.S., 0;
C.H.S., 52.

The Fifth game of the season was with Carrollton High School on Friday
afternoon, October 31. The team was out for revenge, that is to hold
Carrollton to a lower score and they did. Our team displayed some good
football in this game and the result was that Carrollton was held down.
This showed the team had improved a great deal. The final score was
J.T.H.S., 0; C.H.S., 13. Not so bad.

Annual Season Recap
Then came the final game of the season with Troy on Saturday, November 16,
and the climax of Jerseyville's football team for 1924. The team went to
Troy in cars and all arrived safe and sound. Up to now you could not have
said any one played better than the other, and in this game no one played
better than the other., but all of them played better than before. The
game started in a whirl and we had just got possession of the ball and
soon started down the field to our line with the fellow carrying the ball
having good interference. Before Troy was aware what was going on, we were
about ready to cross their goal line. They tried to resist but on the next
play Jerome Aderton carried the ball across for a touchdown, which was our
first touchdown and the first score of the season, The quarter ended,
J.T.H.S., 6; Troy, 0. The next quarter was played more evenly till toward
the end of the half when our warriors started down the field again. The
whistle blew just before the next play and we were on Troy's two or three
yard line. The score was J.T.H.S., 6; Troy, 0.
The next half was more exciting because both teams were fighting hard. The
third quarter ended with the same score as the half.
The fourth quarter was the most exciting of all because Troy had gotten
new life. They started for our goal and our team stopped them on about the
five yard line and we got the possession of the ball. Sing backed up to
punt out of danger, but the excitement was so high and the center made a
bad pass and Sing fumbled the ball, but fell on it, giving them a safety
which counted three points. The score was now J.T.H.S., 6; Troy, 3. The
ball went out to twenty yard line and they had possession of the ball and
started another drive. Our team now could see victory and weren't going to
be deprived of it in first or last quarter. Troy got on our ten yard line
and just about the time he thought he had succeeded he was catapaulted
back about ten feet. Sing had gotten revenge for the safety they made of
him and put a stop to Troy's hopes of making a touchdown. They tried again
but in vain for the game soon ended. The final score was; J.T.H.S., 6,
Troy, 3. Greene, Aderton, Carr, Sidewell and some more played their best
football of the season, so we had reached our goal.
