The Jefferson Dragons made some more history Friday night.

For the first time in the team’s 60-year history, they have gone undefeated in regular season play after crushing the East Jackson Eagles 48-0 in the rain.

The closest Jefferson had come previously to an undefeated regular season was back in 1973, when coach Jim Lofton’s team went 9-1, losing their last game of the season to arch rival Commerce 28-3.

With the regular season now behind them, the Dragons now focus on their first post-season appearance as the 8-AA champs. They will play host to the Coosa Eagles on Friday, a team that finished third in their region with a 3-2 record, and 6-4 overall.

On paper, Jefferson would appear to by far have the advantage over Coosa.

The Eagles have scored only 186 points this season, as opposed to the Dragons’ 386, a comparison of 18.6 average points per game for Coosa to Jefferson’s 38.6 per game.

Coosa has also allowed nearly twice as many points to be scored against them as the Dragons, 215 total to 112, an average of 21.5 per game for the Eagles to Jefferson’s 11.2.

Coosa will hit the field Friday off of a 17-8 victory over Sonoraville, their second win in a row since Oct. 31, while Jefferson continues to ride the momentum of a historic 2008 regular season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
