New Study Looks At Football Helmets And Concussions

Last District Game

2010-10-29T09:58:00.000-05:00

Tonight is the last game of District play for the Jays. After losing to Ft. Zumwalt West last Friday night the Jays will not be District Champs, but still have a chance to move on to the state playoffs.

From the NewsTribune:

“This is why you play the game,” Jefferson City coach Ted LePage said. “It’s Hickman, the last game and if you win, you’re in. “How much more exciting could that be?”

If the Jays do advance they will take on the District 5 Champ next Friday Night at 7pm.

District 5 consists of Francis Howell, Francis Howell Central, Francis Howell North, and Pattonville.

Jays and St. Rita's in the News

In the news:

Jahwon Akui

SouthTown Star

St. Rita makes a statement

St. Rita's Jahwon Akui said the Mustangs wanted to send a message.

Mission accomplished.

Akui ran for 222 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries and the Mustangs defense forced six turnovers as St. Rita ran over Jefferson City (Mo.) 35-14 Sunday in the City of Champions Classic at Clyde C. Jordan Stadium.

"I couldn't have done it without the offensive line. They made a lot of holes," Akui said. "Then when I broke into the secondary, I was able to put it in a second gear and the defenders were still in first gear."

The Jays (1-1) scored first on a 28-yard pass from Sam Turner to Jeremy Tisdale with 55.4 seconds left in the first quarter. But Akui answered back on the Mustangs ensuing play from scrimmage as he burst free for a 70-yard touchdown run.

"We finished the game," St. Rita coach Todd Kuska said. "In the second half we had good drives and the defense has played really well. We now have forced 10 turnovers in two games."

News Tribune

Chicago squad trumps Jays at football classic

The Jays (1-1) took the lead with 55 seconds left in the first quarter on a 28-yard pass from Thomas LePage to Jeremy Tisdel. The first of two point-afters by Ryan Tanner made it 7-0.

But it was all Mustangs (2-0) after that.

Next up:

The Jays travel to St. Louis, MO to take on the 0-2 Hazelwood East Spartans.

City of Champions Classic

2010-08-31T06:37:00.000-05:00

The Jays will travel to East St. Louis High School on Sunday to play in the East St. Louis City of Champions Classic.

There will be a total of 3 games.

Game 1: 1:00 pm
Chicago Simeon vs Imagine College Prep

Game 2: 4:00 pm
St. Rita vs Jefferson City

Game 3: 7:00 pm
Dillard High School vs East St. Louis Senior High School

The East St. Louis (IL) City of Champions Classic was created by two former student-athletes (Dana Howard and Julyon Brown) that were inspired to showcase inner city football talent in a big stage atmosphere.

Recognizing the inability of inner city schools to travel and play in the game, Howard and Brown developed the City of Champions Foundation that will finance the travel of all participants to East St. Louis, Illinois for an exiting day of football.

Sunday, September 5, 2010 will mark the inaugural games of an annual series that will take place in East St. Louis, Illinois during Labor Day weekend, with the participants being East St. Louis Senior High School, Dillard High School (Florida), .St Rita High School (Chicago), Jefferson City (Mo.) High School, Chicago Simeon High School and Imagine College Prep Charter School (St. Louis, Mo.)

Mustang Sally

2010-08-30T23:50:00.001-05:00

Jefferson City Jays, I think you better slow that Mustang down.

Next up the Jays will travel to East St. Louis to play St. Rita from Chicago.

Bits about St. Rita Mustangs.

As of Thursday, the NWI Times had Portage as the #1 team in Indiana after moving up from #4 the week before.

A 1-0 start and a perch atop our rankings. Jeromy Flowers is livin' large in P-Town. If they can make it 2-0 with a trip to St. Rita on Saturday, now we're really talkin'..

Well, they’re not really talkin anymore, as St. Rita, from Chicago, IL, dropped Portage’s record to 1-1 on the season by beating them 22-0 on Friday night.

From the SouthTown Star:

It's been four long years since one of our own has hoisted a state football title trophy - St. Rita turned t he trick against Lake Zurich in 2006 - a championship drought of massive proportions when you consider the amount of talent the Southland has developed during that period.

But we've had to settle for the role of bridesmaid four times the past two years, including twice last season.

However, a region drowning in championship tradition, not to mention NFL talent, should never get accustomed to second-best.

"Hopefully this is the year someone wins one," St. Rita coach Todd Kuska said. "There's so much competition throughout the state, as well as right here on the South Side. You have to beat so many quality teams to just qualify for the playoffs. But it does prepare you for what's ahead in the playoffs."

For the second consecutive season, St. Rita grabbed the top spot in the SouthtownStar's preseason poll.

Another SouthTown Star article (08-24-2010):

Mustangs welcome challenge of being Southland's top team heading into season.

The Mustangs lost some elite talent to graduation from last season's squad, which finished 11-3.

Coach Todd Kuska, however, has St. Rita in a position to reload, not rebuild.

"We like being No. 1," said Kuska, beginning his 13th season. "We don't care about having targets on our back. What kid doesn't want to open up the newspaper and see themselves as the top team in the area? It's an honor."

Last year: 11-3

Keep an eye on: Brandon Johnson, QB; Scott Thomas, QB; Nick Dachota, OL.

Coach Todd Kuska: "We have a strong unit back on offense and defensively, we lost some big guys, but we like the kids we have stepping up. We love our senior class - it's one of the best classes we've ever had, and our junior class is solid. We just need to stay healthy and make sure we keep the fire under everybody all season."

Key to success: Quarterback. With Akui, who rushed for 1,652 yards and 27 touchdowns, and Starks in the backfield and an offensive line capable of moving buildings, the QB battle between Johnson and Thomas takes center stage. Both young men are athletic and can run. The major question is which QB can produce a passing attack when necessary.

ESPN Chicago:

Preseason

No. 3 St. Rita

Last season: 11-3 overall, 3-2 Catholic League, lost in 7A state quarterfinals, ranked No. 12 in final 2009 poll

Season ahead:Returning running backs Jahwon Akui and Travis Starks likely will get all the headlines again this season. They’ll be the ones having 100-yard – probably 200-yard -- games and scoring multiple touchdowns.

"The linemen, that’s the best," Kuska said. "It’s great to have your tailbacks back. That’s phenomenal, but it starts with the guys up front. To have five of our front six, that’s huge. Those five guys I believe are the most important on any football team across the country at any level. It’s a good sigh of relief to know we have some leaders back who can get the job done."

Akui and Starks deserve some recognition as well. They combined for nearly 3,000 yards rushing last season and scored 46 touchdowns. St. Rita also returns wide receivers Bob Gallagher and Mitch Saffold and fullback Matt Mullen. The starting quarterback will either be senior Brandon Johnson or junior Scott Thomas.

Defensively, the Mustangs don’t have as much returning and will have some huge holes to fill with the graduation of defensive lineman Bruce Gaston and linebackers Ron McNamara and Joe Campagna. Defensive lineman Joe Maes, linebacker Will McNamara and defensive backs Charles Elmore and Starks are the returning starters.

08-28-2010

Chicago Tribune Preps Plus

Jahwon Akui is the first name people usually mention when talking about St. Rita, but the Mustangs' defense had something to say for itself in the team's opener Saturday night.

The No. 3 Mustangs' defense led the way in a 22-0 victory against Portage (Ind.) at Pat Cronin Field. The longest run by either team came after an interception by St. Rita senior Jake Pikowski that helped put the game away.

"We're a smashmouth football team," Pikowski said. "We're a total team. We work for each other. We work for the offense and the offense works for us. We just do our jobs."

The offense wasn't as explosive as expected. Akui was held to 83 yards on 27 carries. Travis Starks added 52 yards on five carries.

"Portage is a good football team, and our defense … I'll tell you, they're pretty athletic," St. Rita coach Todd Kuska said.

Jays put it to McCluer North

2010-08-28T22:18:00.001-05:00

The Jamboree scrimmage proved to be a wake up call as the Jays came out looking much more polished as they romped on McCluer North in their season opener winning 41-10.

In the news:

News Tribune

Jefferson City rolls over McCluer North in opener

Kody Walker rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns and Brad Turner threw for two scores and ran for another as the Jefferson City Jays thumped the McCluer North Stars 41-10 Friday night at Adkins Stadium.

KMIZ

The Jays open the season with a big win.

The Jefferson City Jays started off strong against the McCluer North Stars Friday night. After scoring two touchdowns in their first two possessions- the Jays never looked back.

Camouflage Against Cancer

2010-08-27T00:08:00.000-05:00

It has been noted in the School's Key Communicator, the Jay Football website, and in the News Tribune, but it is worth posting it here too. The Jays are helping one of their own.

In August of 2009, former Jay Maurice Burnley was diagnosed with bone cancer during a routine physical. Since then, Maurice and his family have endured treatments, surgeries, and radiation in an effort to beat the disease. Maurice, a 2008 All-State selection and 2009 graduate of JCHS, is the oldest of four boys - his younger brother Malik is a member of the 2010 Jay Football team.

The Jay Football program would like to help the Burnley family offset some of their expenses by launching the "Camouflage Against Cancer" campaign. All profits from this effort will go directly to Maurice and his family.

The team and their boosters will be selling "Camouflage Against Cancer" t-shirts for $15 each. T-shirts can be purchased at the Jay Hut or from any Jay player or coach.

Also, in honor of Maurice, the Jay Football team will wear red and black camouflage jerseys in their September 17th home game vs. the Rock Bridge Bruins. A set of jerseys will be auctioned off prior to the Rock Bridge game and the second set will be available to purchase after the game.

From rivalsHIGH:

"Jefferson City completed an outstanding season in 2009 led by talented running back Kody Walker , advancing to the quarterfinal round and finishing with a 9-3 mark. The Jays continue to prove their football program is back after a few difficult years."

"In addition to Walker the Jays return enough firepower to help them advance to the Show-Me Bowl for the first time since 1998."

"The schedule will be solid once again for the Jays with a trip to Illinois, a pair of Suburban North foes in McCluer North and Hazelwood East, and the annual date with the Rockhurst Hawklets."

Sikeston football's undefeated season comes to a crashing halt

Excerpts:

Sikeston, making their first semifinal appearance in school history, fell behind early to the Crusaders. On Helias' first offensive play, running back Brad Wilson took an option pitch and raced 67 yards to the end zone, giving the Crusaders an early lead.

The Bulldogs looked as if they were right back in the game when Trey Lewis intercepted a Clint Distler pass with 1:30 remaining in the first half, however, momentum changed quickly as Helias recovered a Sikeston fumble on the following play. The Crusaders took advantage as Distler hit Wilson for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 29 seconds remaining in the first half, giving Helias a 23-8 lead at halftime.

News Tribune

Consistent Crusaders on way to Class 4 championship game

Excerpts:

The Helias Crusaders followed a familiar formula Saturday afternoon - big plays on offense, stifling plays on defense.

“It was a complete effort by everyone,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said. “The guys who were asked to step up, stepped up.”

“Kearney is obviously a very talented football team, but when you get to this point, you can expect to play a very talented football team,” Hentges said.

The St. Louis American

State quarterfinals this week for prep football

Get ready St. Louis. The big, bad Jeff City Jays, and their legions of obnoxious fans, are coming to town this weekend. And we expect quite a fight when they get here and take on area-No. 2 DeSmet.

The Jays are one of the deepest and most balanced teams in the state.

After the game

News Tribune

Desmet finished Jays' football season

The Jefferson City Jays piled up 136 yards of total offense in the first quarter Friday night, but had just six points to show for it. They had just 79 yards in the final three quarters -- and zero points.

Newsmagazine Network

27-6 Victory Propels DeSmet Into Semi-Finals Of Playoffs

Apparently not everyone is unlucky on Friday the 13th. In a stunning comeback in front of a huge and enthusiastic home crowd that overwhelmed both their stadium's seating capacity and their school's parking facilities, the DeSmet Spartans continued their unbeaten streak and put together a resounding 27-6 victory over the Jefferson City Jays (9-3).

Chris Adams scored a quick 17 yard field goal, which meant the Spartans were only up by 4 at the half. The game was still well within reach of the Jays. This changed right after the kickoff, when the explosive Malcolm Agnew quickly ran the ball eighty yards down the field for a touchdown. This deflated Jefferson City who spent the rest of the game watching DeSmet launch impressive drives and being flattened by the Spartans' taut defense.

By the game's end, Jefferson City was unable to withstand DeSmet's late-game onslaught. Still, DeSmet's head coach, Patrick Mahoney, praised the performance of his opponents. He said, “They were the toughest team we've played all year. It's a shame their season had to end like that.”

St. Louis Post Dispatch

DeSmet Spartans march on toward test in semis

The DeSmet football team found itself in an unusual situation after one quarter of Friday night's Class 6 quarterfinal game against visiting Jefferson City.

The Spartans trailed by six points, which was the first time in a month that the team trailed after one quarter.

After a slow start, DeSmet's defense shut down Jefferson City's running game, and the offense started clicking behind quarterback Steve Kaiser and running back Malcolm Agnew as the Spartans rallied for a 27-6 victory.

"Everybody was making plays when they had to," DeSmet coach Pat Mahoney said.

Scary moment for Jays at the end of 37-14 win

Excerpts:

It was a somber locker room after Jefferson City's 37-14 Class 6 sectional win over Francis Howell on Friday night at Adkins Stadium.

With 1:47 left in the game, guard Kaleb Davis, one of Jefferson City's senior cornerstones, went down and stayed down -- basically motionless -- for about 20 minutes. He was put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

LePage calmly talked to the Jays in the lockerroom after the game, about their performance and about Davis. You could hear a pin drop.

"The one thing I can say about these young men are they are very close, they're like family," LePage said.

2009-11-07T22:35:00.005-06:00

Jefferson City Jays vs DeSmet Spartans

Depending on polls, undefeated DeSmet is ranked a spot or two above the Jays, so this will not be a cakewalk. This is where a mistake here or there could easily be the difference in the game. Fumbles that have plagued the Jays a bit recently will need to be a thing of the past. Some may contend that DeSmet has had an easier schedule, and thus the poll numbers may be inflated a bit, but the Spartans have held six of their opponents scoreless and averaged almost 49 points per game. The Jays may be the first real test for the Spartans, although they will have home field advantage on their side. Jefferson City Sports predicts this one slightly in favor of the Jays, if they can contain the fumbles and convert a few when caught in 3rd and long.

Rockhurst Hawklets vs Blue Springs Wildcats

These two having played once in regular season with Rockhurst the victor by a score of 17-3, one would expect this to be a hard fought game. Having the home field advantage on their worn turf, Jefferson City Sports predicts Rockhurst will hold off Blue Springs to advance to the semifinals. The winner of this game will meet the winner of the Jays-DeSmet game.

Oakville Tigers vs Fox Warriors

Rather closely matched, but Jeffeson City Sports predicts that Oakville could pull out the win.

Hazelwood Central Hawks vs Lafayette Lancers

Judging by the polls Jefferson City Sports would expect the Hawks to fly away with this one.

Friday the Jays travel to Columbia for their last scheduled game of the season and final game of Districts against the Hickman Kewpies.

HighSchoolSports.net picks the Jays to win this final District matchup by a score of 36-17.

In other District 6 play, HighSchoolSports.net predicts Ft. Zumwalt West will beat Troy 48-20.

Following these predictions would have District end up as follows:

Jays 3-0
Ft. Zumwalt West 2-1
Hickman 1-2
Troy 0-3

This would have the Jefferson City Jays and Ft. Zumwalt West Jaguars move on to sectionals on 11/06/2009. The Jays would play the runner up of District 5 and the Jags would play the winner of District 5.

------------------------------------------------

District 5 with current seasonal and district records:

DeSmet Jesuit Spartans
Season Record 9-0
District Record 2-0 Blanking both opponents and scoring 60+ pts

Francis Howell Vikings
Season Record 8-1
District Record 2-0

Francis Howell North Knights
Season Record 4-5
District Record 0-2

Francis Howell Central Spartans
Season Record 3-6
District Record 0-2

------------------------------------------------

Looking at the records, etc., Jefferson City Sports would suspect that DeSmet will win District 5 with Francis Howell the runner up.

This would mean the following match-ups in Sectionals for those from District 5 and 6 on 11/06/2009.

Jefferson City Jays vs Francis Howell Vikings

Ft. Zumwalt West Jaguars vs DeSmet Jesuit Spartans

Jefferson City Sports could foresee a formidable game between Jefferson City and DeSmet in the 11/13/2009 Quarterfinals.

Hickman football team overwhelms Troy Buchanan

Excerpts:

As it did during the first-quarter play that gave German his interception, the ball bounced Hickman’s way all night in a 53-14 rout of the Trojans on Friday at Hickman that gave the Kewpies their fourth win of the season. The Kewpies scored 44 points in the first half while a swarming Hickman defense held Troy Buchanan scoreless before the Kewpies' starters were replaced at the start of the second half.

With rival Jefferson City up next on Hickman’s schedule, a little time off might be just what the Kewpies' starters needed. The Jays defeated Troy Buchanan 56-6 last week and should be a formidable opponent for Hickman.

“We’re going to be practicing harder than we’ve ever been this whole year. Hopefully we can get a berth in the playoffs,” German said.

Jays vs. Rockhurst: second verse, same as the first

Excerpts:

The Rockhurst Hawklets bolted to a 20-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes and held off a pair of comeback attempts by the Jefferson City Jays on their way to a 33-19 win Friday night.

Sal Belfonte's 65-yard return on the opening kickoff, plus a 15-yard personal foul against the fifth-ranked Jays (5-2), set up the Hawklets at the Jefferson City 15. Three plays later, Noah Pearl scored on a 2-yard run to make it 7-0 just 72 seconds into the game.

Crusaders vs BlueJackets

2009-10-10T13:55:00.005-05:00

Reminiscent of the Jays vs Sumner game, the Beaumont Bluejackets came to town with a small number of players and what looked to be a couple of fans, although Beaumont also had Cheerleaders. The outcome of the game was similar as the Helias Crusaders rolled to victory by a score of 56-12.
