At the beginning of the year, most of the “experts” were predicting a rebuild for Coach Dustin Wilson and his Springfield Yellow Jackets. Do you know who didn’t give a sack of craps about that prediction? You guessed it: neither the Yellow Jackets nor Dustin Wilson.

The Yellow Jackets take a 9-3 worksheet into its game tonight at home with an 11-1 Hardin County team. The team which had graduated its 2018 three-headed monster in Bryan Hayes, Dayron “Phat Cat” Johnson, and Keith Jones has resurged to 2019 prominence behind the play of guys like Kevontez Hudson and Kevontay White. They have also gotten key contributions from guys one wouldn’t have suspected coming into the year. Guys like DT, Jaden Wells.

Jaden is only 5-6 and weighs 206-pounds, if the playoff roster submitted to the TSSAA is to be believed. To say he is undersized to play DT is an understatement, even in Tennessee’s 4A classification. That hasn’t deterred him from substantially contributing to a Springfield defense which has held opponents to 19.6 points per outing and has the team on the cusp of its third-consecutive semi-final appearance, provided it wins tonight.

Tonight will be a different task for the Yellow Jacket defense. The Tigers from Hardin County have a “Mr. Football” candidate at QB in Rivers Hunt and the nation’s 6th most highly regarded TE to target in Hudson Wolfe. Wolfe is holding 21 FBS, power 5 offers with teams jumping on board all the time.

Still, the Yellow Jackets will be at home where they are 19-2 since opening the new, on campus stadium. They certainly can win tonight. They have the history, the players, the coaching, and all the intangibles. They will need one more thing though…they will need big plays from unexpected places.

Perhaps they should turn to their sophomore, 5-6, 206-pound DT, Jaden Wells. It’s been working out well for them so far.

Congratulations to DT, Jaden Wells (2022) of Springfield High School in Springfield, Tennessee, for being selected the Stewart Williams Furniture Company’s Robertson County Player of the Week. Join us, next week, as we anoint a new recipient.
