However, she didn’t witness the magnificence of Jackson High School football a year ago, as the Indians played near-perfect football through five months and won the MSHSAA Class 5 state championship in dominating fashion. So, you’ll have to forgive gridiron fans from Perryville to Poplar Bluff if they just want to savor 2020 a tad longer.
