Just want to pause here to reminisce about all the 0-10, 1-9, and 2-8 seasons I've endured as a Golden Eagle fan (and there've been more than a few), how we used to be a perennial doormat, and think how incredible it is that fans of a team like Highlands take this game as a serious threat now. It seems unreal to look back on all the bad times and think this is the same football program. Just want to thank the administration, Coach Matney, the staff, the players, their parents, and the other loyal fans for all coming together and making this possible.

I am an old fan too and could not agree more. Just being in the playoffs is huge for us! Being metioned in the same sentence with Highlands is awesome. Everyone has worked hard and what ever happens Friday we will be JC fans and proud of where we are at.

We must not take Highlands lightly, they are still the favorite and State Champ. I feel Jude will come up big, but it will take a complete team effort and mistake free playing 4 quarters to win. I think Highlands will struggle with the run, but JC must defend the balanced attack of Highlands. This is a very close game to call, the team that executes their game plan best wins. I must admit I hope JC wins and moves on.
