Eisenhower’s defense has proven to be a ball-winning defense, with 10 interceptions and five fumble recoveries. Jakubchak leads the way with six of those interceptions.
“To be in the best position to win, we have to play like we did in the first half last week against Mercyhurst Prep, which was some of the best football we’ve played all year,” Coach Penley said. “It was,” he said. “We need to stay disciplined and focus on our responsibilities off the ball or Greenville will control the game.”
