The East Jackson Eagles’ first season of region play ended Friday night with a loss in the driving rain to region 8-AA champ Jefferson 48-0 Friday night.

East Jackson wound up with three region wins in its inaugural season in 8-AA, having defeated Oglethorpe County, Rabun County and Dawson County. They recorded six losses and had an overall record of 3-7.

Between the weather and a tough Dragon team, things got ugly early on for East Jackson. Before the game was even seven minutes old, the Dragons had scored twice, making it 14-0.

The Dragons scored again in the second quarter, making the score 20-0 after a missed PAT. The Dragons broke into the end zone again just six minutes later, and following a successful two-point conversion had a 28-0 lead.

Jefferson recovered an Eagle fumble with just over two minutes remaining in the half, and less than 20 seconds later, scored their fifth touchdown of the game. A successful PAT gave Jefferson a 35-0 lead going into the half.

Jefferson scored twice in the fourth quarter, but East Jackson’s defense managed to block the second PAT attempt, leaving the score 48-0 to the end.
