North Hall quarterback Maddox Turner is taken down by Jefferson's Mike Hernandez, top, and Jonathan Paolozzi during the first half of the Trojans' season home opener Friday night at The Brickyard.
Jefferson freshman phenom running back Colby Wood is quickly making a name for himself with a tenacious running style, much more assertive than most young running backs. His breakout moment for the fifth-ranked Dragons (3-0) might have been early in the third quarter of Friday’s 48-8 win against North Hall at The Brickyard in Gainesville. Leading by a sizable margin, Wood took the handoff from senior quarterback Evan Shirreffs and streaked past a host of Trojans (0-1) defenders, and despite losing a shoe went in 48 yards down the sideline for the touchdown.
