Cancelled Games

Trying to verify if what I've heard is true that Jackson has cancelled their game tonight due to the STUPID AND I MEAN STUPID social media trend going around today of the school violence and threats nationwide?

Any other games getting cancelled?
Yes its cancelled !
Update: All home sporting contests that were scheduled for today, Friday, September 13, 2024, will be canceled or postponed due to an investigation of a possible threat against the school.


No practices will be held on campus at this time.


All home sporting contests scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, September 14, 2024, will also be canceled.


Jackson R-2 School

Where’s everyone tomorrow evening?

It’s not a dig at Monett, I hope they have all the success in the world.

My opinion is based on the very odd experience Carthage had at Glendale 5 years ago, the attitude of their players, coaches, and fans, the poor facilities, and the way people subsequently went after the Carthage kid involved in the play. I realize that’s rehashing an old issue, but since Carthage has not played Glendale since then, it’s still fresh in my mind at least.

Guidie made a mistake and has since apologized for it. I’m not defending what he did, it was dumb. “Punching out an assistant” is a bit of a stretch though. Yeah, it was dumb, but just like you say about Mauk, I and others in Carthage have seen firsthand as well the amount of work Guidie puts in and the amount of care has for the boys on his team.
Well I don't take it as a dig to Monett, but I do think you have tried to dig the coaches a bit, its all good and fun until somebody in your own house acts up and then that spotlight is BRITE HOT!!

Carthage has a nice program I hope they are successful, there are a few kids I coached in youth now playing high school over there, so I keep up with how they are doing. However honestly what Carthage does is none of my business, well until you want to bring my town and current coaches up. ;)

Jackson High School is closed today in an “abundance of caution” to investigate a potential threat that was received late last night that was circulating through social media, which could involves “school violence.”The Edwardsville Tigers were scheduled to play the Jackson Indians at the Pit in Jackson tonight at 7:00 PM. The game has now been postponed to tomorrow night and is set to played at Edwardsville High School at 6:00 PM.
Find and arrest every single person doing this! Modern tech it should not be too hard to do.............

Cancelled Games

And please don't get me wrong when I say stupid, that falls under the blanket of sad, disturbing, and alarming...safety above everything especially in instances like this.

Been around a lot of Monett coaches over the years as you know well, and it says a lot about coaches who are willing to protect their players..... versus punch out one of his own coaches... Don't you think?
The Mauk's have added over 30 kids to the program, I have seen what they do everyday to help Monett kids succeed not only on the field but off and in life.

And hopefully Coach Mauk can keep his cool if an Aurora player delivers a big hit tonight!
