Maybe it’s best that Glenbard North senior Phillip Jackson and sophomore brother Justin Jackson are never in the backfield at the same time. The two running backs rotate depending on the situation, always allowing one to watch the other. And both enjoy doing that. The younger Jackson scored the first two touchdowns for the Panthers against Stevenson Saturday afternoon. The elder could … ]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:27:41 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/stevenson/football/8795215-393/football-glenbard-north-ground-game-too-much-for-stevenson.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/stevenson/football/8795215-393/football-glenbard-north-ground-game-too-much-for-stevenson.html
