CLICK HERE for more on the Jacksonville-JH/Greenville Rose game, from Chris Miller at the Jacksonville Daily News…Some key points, from Chris Miller, at The Daily News(Jacksonville, N.C.)….The J.H. Rose senior combination of Michael Allen and Klavon Brown combined for 317 yards rushing and five touchdowns that proved too much for the Jacksonville Cardinals to overcome in a 35-28 loss in the NCHSAA 3-A East Regional final. “They did what they have done all year,” Jacksonville coach Beau Williams said. “Michael Allen is a four-star running back and going to N.C. State for a reason. He’s good at getting to the corners. And No. 10 (Brown) works hard inside. It’s a good 1-2 punch that makes it hard on you.”…(There you go Dudley Panthers, it’s Panther Time, and that means it’s time to get ready to face Greenville Rose, and the two-headed monster of Michael Allen and Klavon Brown.)
