An all-purpose football player, Jayden Milton, a senior at West Carroll Junior/Senior High School, is the HICKMAN REALTY GROUP – THE REID TEAM.COM – NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM & WNWS.COM ‘Player of the Week.’

A running back, defensive back, and kick returner, Jayden rushed for 340 yards, scored five touchdowns, added three 2-point conversions, and had three solo tackles in West Carroll’s 42-15 win over visiting Harding Academy, August 30.

“It was a great win, and our offensive line … I feel we have one of the best O(ffensive) lines in West Tennessee,” Jayden said. “Our team chemistry is good. This summer we lifted weights, practiced, and now it’s paying off.”

One week earlier, Jayden accounted for 238 yards on 27 carries and three touchdowns in the War Eagles’ 38-14 win over Gibson County in their season opener.

The War Eagles entertain FACS, Friday.

Coaches quote –

“Jayden had a great night, but our offensive line did a great job … there were several plays against Harding he wasn’t touched until he was 8, 9, 10 yards down the field – that’s how you rush for 340 yards, but we rushed for 400 yards as a team, and that’s a huge number for us.

“We try to things the right way – working hard in the off season, in the weight room, take care of our bodies, watching and studying film, practice habits – we believe our program is definitely growing, while continuing to get better.” – Adam Dowland, West Carroll head football coach
