JFK HOLDS BACK ST PAUL TO GET INTO SEMIFINALS

/in /by

WARREN OH- Warren JFK had to hold strong on a final drive from St Paul to hang on to their late lead and win 27-21 in the quarterfinals. The Eagles built a two score lead in the first half, but St Paul’s offense came out swinging and gave the Eagles a battle to the end.

Jesse Likens got the Eagles on the board first with a one yard run capping an 80 yard opening drive. Then after forcing a three and out, Likens struck again this time from 13 yards out. Cam Hollobaugh was also productive for the Eagles gaining 168 yards on the ground with 30 carries. He also added 59 yards through the air. Hollobaugh scores maybe the most important touchdown of the day with a 50 yard blast when the game was 20-14 Eagles. The 13 point lead was just enough to hold on to a 27-21 win.

The Eagles advance to the regional semifinals next week as they’ll host Dalton.

GOTTA LOVE LIKENS

/in /by

WARREN, OH- With the Eagles rolling into Week 12, Warren JFK Faithful is gearing up for a rematch of the last two years- and neither has gone the way of the #BluePride.  However, this year is different.

Almost…destined.

Sitting in the backfield is a brand new Ferrari for the Eagle offense to ride in 2019, and that sweet ride is in the form of Junior, Jesse Likens.  Likens is known for his speed on the field, and his team-first attitude off

With an injury to his friend and teammate, Jordan Edmundson, the Eager Eagle flew into action and never looked back.  Racking up frequent flyer miles into the opponent’s endzone, including a trifecta in Week 11 against Independence.

We had the chance to catch up with Lightning Likens before the Cuyahoga Heights game in this week’s Warren JFK Player Profile: GOTTA LOVE LIKENS
