Competing against the first team in the state wouldn’t be easy for any body. And that’s what the Arlington boys had to do Tuesday night. Arlington stuck with Jackson throughout the first half and the score was very close. But after half time Jackson got a jump on Arlington. And the Arlington boys ended up losing the game by 20 Recently losing their last game Jackson was probably very fired up playing against Arlington. Which didn’t give Arlington an advantage. Also helping Jackson win was one of the top players in the state Jason Todd. Knowing all these things Arlington never gave up. And fought through the whole game. When asked what he thought about the game Gavin Smoke said “ I had confidence in my team from the beginning, but in the end we lost and we have to deal with that but also learn from it”. Last year Arlington lost to Jackson in the Tacoma dome, which is the reason they were placed 5^th.  Jackson is a good team no doubt and Arlington will probably face them again down the road.
