Edmunds is Jeannette's inner football strength

"Versatility has paid off for the Jeannette High School football team under fourth-year coach Roy Hall.

The Jayhawks had several offensive weapons last year and are refining them en route to a 10-1 record this season and a date with Aliquippa in the WPIAL Class AA semifinals 7:30 p.m. Friday at Peters Township High School.

A mainstay in Jeannette's success -- both this season and last -- has been the contribution from Jordan Edmunds, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound senior running back and standout linebacker.

"He has good speed, and he's strong," said Hall.

Edmunds led the Jayhawks through 11 games with 15 receptions for an average of 12.7 yards per catch, plus 909 yards on the ground, an average of 7.6 yards per rush.

Edmunds can do much more than what the eye can see, Hall said. He's the team's second-leading scorer with 88 points. That includes 14 touchdowns and two 2-point conversion runs."
