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!!

Jacobs aiming to stir interest in Jersey football

Dave Jacobs named as new football  head coach at JCHS  

Was it Zupple who said, "A team can't be licked who won't be licked"? Well, Jerseyville's football team made this a true statement. Having lost four games in a row the team went to Carrollton for their last game-and WON. But the real story is not in the score. The larger half of the team had played for Coach during the four years and knew his ways and his system of football. The team worked hard every night after school. Before practice the outfit would take four or five laps around the track, sometimes even six or seven. There was a real spirit of teamwork and they worked hard together. Any team that can make thirteen points in five minutes has something! Coach always said that he wouldn't give up; well, the team caught the spirit- they didn't either.

In this, his first year out, Bob was used a great many times in the line.

Fast and shifty in the backfield, with two more years to play, Eddy should really be a wow.

Cherry was a fine end, out-talking the enemy.

Another year and Ralph should be a valuable lineman.

One of the hardest blockers in any backfield, "Bill" was invaluable to the team.

The only sophomore on the first team, Turpin was the "fifth"  man in the enemy's backfield.

"Gee, ain't he fast!"

Charlie was relied on to back up the line. He is the captain-elect for 1943.

Captain of one of the finest teams Jerseyville has ever had, Pat deserves a lot of the credit.

Started as lineman but shifted into the backfield, Clem became our yard gainer.

Kelly was a hard-running back, sure to make yardage every time he got the ball.

An unobnoxious little fellow, "Molly" could always be depended upon for power in the line.

Here's to our kicker, who helped keep the enemy from our goal.

A Junior this year,-1943 should see Ralph as the best lineman on the team.

Baxter was a guard who helped stop those line plays of Carrollton's.
