Jonesboro-Hodge travels to West Ouachita High School this Thursday for their second contest of the 2024 LHSAA season and perhaps their toughest test of the year. Game time is set for 7:00 pm at A.R. Sims field on the campus of WOHS. 

The Tigers enter the contest with an 0-1 record after falling to arch rival Winnfield 27-0 in the season opener while WOHS looks to win a second straight after routing Richwood 49-6.

The game marks the second time in as many weeks the Class A Tigers will play a school from higher classification, this week making a giant leap by battling the Class 4A Chiefs. 

“We have our work cut out for us,” said JHHS head coach Terrance Blankenship. “West Ouachita has perhaps one of their best teams ever this year but we have had a good week of practice and we are looking forward to the challenge.”
