On a clear, sunny day in Orlando, Florida tension ran high as the Jones and Evans teams took the field for their annual “Soul Bowl” rivalry game. All signs pointed to a Jones win; they had the better record, an offense known to make big plays and a healthier team. Jones was also hoping for its first ever back-to-back win. The players on the Evans team however, refused to let that happen.
