Really excited to announce the bringing on of our Offensive Assistant Coach, Trey Downes to Jackson Academy Football! Trey played for me at Montgomery Catholic and coached last year at BR. He spent his college years on staff as a student manager in the Auburn Football program.
So grateful and thankful for the opportunity to serve our Lord as a grower of young men. To all my Coaches and players, former and current, I’m thankful for you and love you all! Hope you all have a blessed day with friends and family.
Word can’t even begin to express how proud I am of Coach J and everything he’s accomplished! Also for these Seniors who experienced the pain as 9th graders and who got back to Bryant Denny and finished the job!

Whatever it takes to see our students succeed! There’s much more to it than just football. As coaches our biggest call and mission has to be to raise up and build up strong and courageous young men!

You either believe in Family or you don’t. It’s gotta be bigger than just winning. You have to develop and build young people so they win first and you win second, not to just win games. What good is it to gain the whole world yet lose your soul.
"When I hear about guys sleeping in their office I wonder what they hell they're doing there. Cause the game ain't that hard.
The work will always be there, your kids won't.
I tell my coaches, if you miss a recital or little league game... I'll fire you."

Unto us a Son is given;

Merry Christmas to all, may God bless you and guide you in 2018
First summer football work out! Big announcement tomorrow on new Defensive Coordinator! Big time Experience on several levels and someone who fits our mission! Love the team we are building! Looking for a place to grow physically, mentally and spiritually, check out JA!
You’re either improving or regressing. There is not an in-between. When you’re stagnant, you’re losing. Progress is success. You chose each day how to spend your time. There are a lot of things in this world that allow you to just coast. Find a way today to be better!
Congratulations Adams on an outstanding year! He sacrificed a lot for his team and played with a banged up shoulder for most of the year. All with setting the school record for tackles in a season with 170! Congratulations again Adams!
Congratulations to this year's MAIS 6A Defensive MVP! Adams Kennedy, who broke the single season tackle record at JA this year, was voted MVP by the 6A coaches of the MAIS!

An awesome Coach but a better friend. I hope we can work together again one day. I learned a lot from Coach & our boys benefited greatly for playing under him. My search begins right away. Whoever lands this role is getting a coached up group of hungry young men!
We would like to thank our DC, David Duggan for his hard work and dedication to our Raiders this past season. We wish him good luck and congratulations in his new role as Defensive Coordinator at Kent State University. Thank you Coach! Be Great and Keep Climbing!
