But the torrid pace that Jalen Jackson has been pushing has been something special to witness too. Maybe because of the success their teams versus that of 11 win Northrop, they get more of a focus. In the area, there has been a big focus on two senior guys: Homestead’s Fletcher Loyer – who just surpassed 2,000 career points this week – and Connor Essegian, who has broken every school, county and conference scoring mark.
It also made for really intriguing storylines, even if the outcome of the game went about the way that Bounce and many others expected.
Friday felt more unusual for the rest of us watching and probably for Jackson and some of his former Carroll teammates too. Jalen, he opened his senior season squaring off against Marty Beasley, his coach at Carroll, now at DeKalb. His sisters, now both Bruins themselves, have had to stand on the other side of the court from Carroll. In that year, Jackson and his family have done all of the things that felt unusual to us. It has been a weird year alright? This time in 2021, we were looking at Carroll and Jalen Jackson both as contenders, but they were doing it together.ġ2 months later and their paths converged again on Friday night when Jackson walked into Charger Fieldhouse for the first time wearing orange and brown and led his Northrop Bruins to a 71-51 win. Northrop’s Jalen Jackson goes up for a shot in traffic during February 11’s game at Carroll.
