Jonesboro-Hodge High School hopes the “third time is the charm” in regard to the Tigers playing their third game of the 2025 season. Maybe the good luck will come from JHHS playing a second straight home game at Caldwell-Peacock Stadium. Or maybe it will be the memory of the win that JHHS posted against Delhi Charter in the season-opening Bayou Jamb that didn’t count. 

Regardless of the reason, after starting the season 0-2, Jonesboro-Hodge needs a victory this Friday evening when the Tigers host Delhi Charter at Caldwell Peacock Stadium. Kick off is slated for 7:00 pm.

GAME PREVIEW

Jonesboro-Hodge comes into the contest with an 0-2 record after falling to Class 2A Winnfield 26-8 in the season opener and 62-13 to Class 4A West Ouachita last week. Once again the Class A Tigers will “play up” as they will host Class 2A Delhi Charter who enters the contest with a 1-1 record after falling to Cedar Creek 19-14 in the season opener and beating Delhi 21-12 last week. 

KEYS TO VICTORY

1. Execute the offense! Time and again, JHHS has had opportunities to score but just hasn’t executed. Delhi Charter will give the Tigers chances but JHHS must take advantage of the opportunity.

2. Limit Mental Errors! It has killed the Tigers in both games. Players out of position have led to way to many easy scores for opponents.  

3. No quick strikes! The Tigers must not allow the one or two play scores that have been a problem to date. JHHS must make Delhi Charter earn their scores the hard way.
