Central waxed belfry good johnson central beat belfry and Corbin beats central. Yet Corbin and central are both lower than belfry and johnson central isn't even ranked and their going to win a state championship today something's wrong with that picture in my book

Johnson Central lost to Belfry on the road. The current MaxPreps ranking has Johnson Central at #8. Depending on how they play today, I expect the Golden Eagles to rise another spot or two.

What a lot of people seem to forget is that junior Joe Jackson's season ended in the first game of the season after rushing for more than 2,000 yards last season and averaging more than 13 ypc. Also, sophomore Cody Rice (who also averaged about 13 ypc last season) decided to play soccer this year and will be playing in only his third game of the season today.

This is an outstanding JC team that still has a very potent offense despite the loss of one of the top returning running backs in the state. The future looks very bright for the Golden Eagles, regardless of which teams may move to 4A in the next couple of seasons - and Johnson County Middle School just won another middle school state title.
