Coming in every day for 4 and a half years, competing for one common goal has instilled discipline, responsibility and reliability. I never had more fun in my life, than playing my senior season of football.

Jackson’s HUDL Film

In the quiet halls of high school, Jackson Waid’s journey unfolded as a remarkable tale of personal growth and athletic triumph. Over four and a half years, he didn’t just compete; he evolved, embracing the field as a canvas to paint his story.

For Jackson, each day was a canvas where discipline, responsibility, and reliability became strokes of character. The camaraderie formed during those years birthed friendships that transcended the game itself. But it was his senior season of football that transformed everything.

Amid the cheers and tackles, Jackson found joy like never before. The game, once a whirlwind of chaos, slowed down to a rhythm only he seemed to dance to. Switching positions from a 3-4 outside linebacker to inside linebacker right before the season was a challenge he embraced with gusto. Every play felt like an opportunity, and he seized them with unwavering confidence.

Leading the team in tackles with an impressive 125 (107 solo), snatching interceptions, recovering fumbles, and forcing opponents to rethink their strategy, Jackson was a force to be reckoned with. His accolades, including the title of Defensive MVP and a unanimous first-team all-district honor in the fiercely competitive 24-6A district, were well-earned badges of distinction.

Yet, amidst the statistics and victories, one moment stood out—a defining interception on the first drive of his final game. It set the tone for the half and marked the culmination of his high school football journey.

Now, let’s talk about diamonds. Like a diamond, Jackson was formed under pressure, and his brilliance emerged through adversity. The facets of his character—resilience, adaptability, leadership—shone brightly, creating a remarkable individual. In the grand tapestry of high school football, Jackson Waid stands not just as a player but as a Diamond of Distinction. His journey, from the quiet halls to the roaring cheers, reflects the transformative power of grit and determination, leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of his high school years.
