JEFFERSON — Jefferson High quarterback Bryant Shirreffs has given teams fits all season. Chalk up seventh-ranked Washington-Wilkes as the latest he’s ripped apart, as the Dragons jumped to the front of Region 8-AA as the team to beat with a 31-0 win against the Tigers on Friday at Memorial Stadium. Shirreffs accounted for 265 yards of total offense, and helmed a Dragons offense that put up 395 yards against a Tigers defense that had allowed just 12 points through five games coming into the night.
