This annual meeting between the Bartow Yellow Jackets and the Miners of Fort Meade is building to be one electrifying night of high school football. The Yellow Jackets coached by Jake McCrae come into the game at 3-1 with their only loss coming at the hands of Kissimmee Osceola. Jake McCrae a familiar name to Miner fans(on the Fort Meade staff in the early 2000's) has not released many stats on his players but we do know QB T.J. Harvin and WR Jeremy Henderson are 2 players to keep an eye on Friday night. These 2 players seem to find a way to bring the Bartow faithful to their feet. Bartow has out scored their opponent 99 - 33.
Fort Meade 4-0 puts its #1 ranking in class 1A on the line as they play up in classification for bragging rights of South Polk County. The Miners who has out scored opponents 173-18 is coached by Jemalle Cornelius. The Miners are led by Senior RB Tyler King 59 carries for 878 yards and 16 TD's and WR Jaylan Outings. Another player to watch is RB Isham Alexander a North/South runner who brings a good change of pace from the shake and bake running of king. Bragging rights are on the line for these 2 communities as you can already feel the energy. Should be an outstanding night of football in Polk County.
