Jackson Prep Patriots

JACKSON PREP  hasn’t won a state title in three years. Senior tailback Hamel McGraw wants to end that streak.

“I want another shot at it,” he said. “We’re going to take it game by game, but the motivation now is getting that (state championship) trophy back.”

The Prep Patriots start their season on August 17, at home against the Madison-Ridgeland Academy (MRA) Patriots.

Last year, Prep hammered their crosstown rivals 35-13.
