The 6-5 Jackson, who also won the MVP Award at the Escambia County Tournament, led the Tigers in scoring at the Area with 33 points. Sixteen of those came in the championship game victory over Andalusia. Jackson got nine of those points in the fourth quarter.
Jackson was joined on the squad by teammates Brandon Andrews, Kelly Stallworth and Terrelle Brooks.
