Red Devils fall to Lamar County, but live to fight again

BARNESVILLE — When the Red Devils limped out of here Friday night, it looked like they might be walking off a football field for good. Danarri Brown went from dependable to determined to dejected, having poured heart, soul and leg into trying to extend Jackson’s season into the Class AAA playoffs. The Red Devils hung with Lamar County for a scoreless first quarter, then watched two things — the Trojans pull away for a 32-7 victory and the Georgia High School Association playoff bracket online. Despite losing to Lamar County for the sixth consecutive meeting, Jackson (4-6 overall, 3-4 in Region 2-AAA) got the help it needed elsewhere across the state, with victories by Mary Persons, South Atlanta, and Lumpkin County, among others. The GHSA computer, thus armed with all the information it needed, on Saturday awarded the Red Devils Class AAA’s final playoff berth, opposite top-seeded Appling County (10-0). Coach Thomas Clark learned how the brackets fell in a Zoom call about 3:15 on Saturday afternoon. “It’s always good when you make the playoffs,” Clark said. “I knew that we were at the bottom.” The Red Devils were rewarded for playing a tough schedule, but like most teams still

Local seed company marks major milestone this month

Local agricultural supply business, Adams-Briscoe Seed Company, celebrated its 80th anniversary and three generations of Adams family ownership on Nov. 6. The company’s story began in 1946, when Rufus Adams and Everett Briscoe bought a seed business in Jackson from the Carmichael brothers. With backgrounds in agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they built a business grounded in knowledge, experience and a commitment to helping customers find the right products for their farms, homes and land. The family business expanded in 1953 when Rufus Adams encouraged his brother, J.B. Adams, to open a second location in Forsyth. J.B. and his wife, Emmie, operated the store together until his death in 1967. Emmie continued running the store until 2003. That same year, ownership of the Jackson business passed to Rufus’ nephew, Jimmy Adams. He and his son Greg Adams continue to lead the company today. The business thanks everyone who has been a part of their journey. “We’re proud of our roots, grateful for the generations of customers who have trusted us and ready for whatever grows next,” said Jimmy Adams.
