Special teams contribute 10 points in 12-point victory

The football team remained unbeaten with a 25-7 win over Newton last Friday. The Jaguars defense and special teams were the catalyst early on, as they got Stephenson on the board with a safety and a field goal by Colin Anderson. Later, a touchdown run by Raymond Sanders and a punt return for a score by Jonathan Blackley put Stephenson up 18-0 at the break. Stephenson tacked on another score in the second half, and all the Rams could manage was a late touchdown against the Jaguar reserves. Stephenson (4-0) came into the game focused on getting a win. "[It's] our first region game. We tried to treat this like a playoff game," Jaguar head coach Ron Gartrell said. Stephenson will be in action on Friday when the team plays at Luella. … Taylor Thomas finished ninth in her Week 4 DeKalb County cross country race with a time of 27:01.60. Jillian Thomas was the next Lady Jaguar to finish, coming in 18th. Chris Ballou had the top finish for the boys, coming in 34th.
