Gridiron Glory has captured some of the classic moments in one of the most fascinating high school rivalries in Mississippi–the Jackson Academy Raiders and the Jackson Prep Patriots. This annual gridiron classic is more competitive than others because it often involves people in the same household. It’s one room in the house versus another room down the hall. Members of the same family can become mortal enemies (at least for one day) over the outcome of the JA-Prep game.
The origin of the rivalry began in 1984 and the intensity of the game keeps accelerating like a rocket to the moon. The 2010 game was broadcast by Fox South Sports and televised to 13 million viewers in seven states. Each game has been a classic in its own right in the joy of victory for one team and a bitter disappointment for the other. All in all, it is high school football at its finest for players, parents and fans.
The Frascognas will be signing Gridiron Glory at Lemuria on Wednesday, November 17th at 5:00.
