Peach County's Jackson likely done for the year with wrist injury

          Trevon Woolfolk had just run for more than 200 yards and a few touchdowns, and was posing with a bunch of his Peach County teammates.

          They were having fun.

          One teammate was Kearis Jackson, who was all about making sure Woolfolk, popping back and forth for an interview between the photo sessions, got his due.

          “Woolfolk, GOAT,” Jackson said, calling Woolfolk the greatest of all time. “Put that in the paper. Trevon Woolfolk, GOAT.”

          Jackson was in the pictures after the Trojans’ 45-15 romp over Westminster in a Class AAA quarterfinal, but he wasn’t in uniform.

          He was in a sling, and has been all week, pretty much since dislocating his wrist in last week’s second-round win over Pierce County.

          “I fell back trying to catch a ball, just landed wrong,” the Georgia commit said. “I knew something was wrong with it ... so I sat out the rest of the game and went to the hospital.

          The original visit to an area emergency room wasn’t fruitful.

          “They didn’t know what happened, so I went to UGA, and they told me what was going on,” said Jackson, who attended last week’s Georgia-Kentucky game with a precautionary sling. “I was sitting there, ‘Aw, maaan, I’m in pain.’ I didn’t have nothing, just a sling.”

          No prognosis, no medication. He said he underwent surgery on Monday.

          Jackson said there’s a possibility he could come back – the Trojans are in the semifinals - but the expression on head coach Chad Campbell’s face when that thought was related indicated that Jackson is extremely optimistic.

          Jackson has 47 catches for 852 yards and nine touchdowns, but had games where he had minimal touches and targets. Campbell noted how many armchair and “bleacher quarterbacks” complain about players, like Jackson, not getting the ball “enough”.

          “We’re not a one-man show,” Campbell said. “People who (want) one-man shows, when you get hurt, what are you gonna do next? We ain’t never been like that, will never be like that. I’m proud of the guys with the way they’ve stepped up over the injuries we’ve had.”

          Jackson has been a posterchild for Peach County football, on and off the field, and while disappointed he wasn’t playing, he was certainly active on the sidelines during the game and sharing the joy of winning afterward.

          As it was, Peach County rendered Jackson’s absence irrelevant against a Westminster team that was extraordinarily battle tested this season. The Trojans have been without starting running back Chris Gibson for several weeks and not lost a beat.

          Jackson broke his leg his freshman year.

          “This right here is worse than breaking my leg, I think,” Jackson said, noting especially the time frame before proper treatment was administered. “And then not having it worked on for a whole day. It was painful.”
