The 36 Throwdown: Lamar County Trojans Set to Host Jackson Red Devils at Trojan Field
This Friday night, August 30 at 7:30 PM, the Lamar County Trojans will host the Jackson Red Devils in the “36 Throwdown” at Trojan Field. The rivalry, which has become a much-anticipated part of the football season, will see the two teams face off for the 39th time in series history. While Jackson historically leads the overall series 25-13, the tide has lately turned in Lamar County’s favor, with the Trojans winning the last three matchups, including a 31-0 shutout at Red Devil Hill last season. As both teams prepare to take the field, Trojan fans are eager to see if Lamar County can extend their winning streak against the Red Devils.
The Jackson Red Devils are 1-1 so far this season with a victory over the Hardaway Golden Hawks of Muscogee County. Mary Persons delivered the Devils their first loss last week, defeating Jackson 23-0. Jackson will look to steal a win at Thunder Alley and snap their losing streak to the Trojans.
Lamar County is riding high after a big road win in Telfair County, beating them 24-8 a couple of weeks ago. With a bye week in week two, Lamar County should be well-rested and ready for Friday’s contest against Jackson. The Trojans hope to see a sea of blue ready to cheer them on to victory for their home opener at Thunder Alley.
