J-Hawks begin tough schedule with No. 8 Linn-Mar
Seven football teams in the Mississippi Valley Conference received votes in the Associated Press poll this week.
The Jefferson J-Hawks are scheduled to play six of them this year, all but Iowa City High.
Some teams can't catch a break.
Jefferson begins its rigorous campaign Thursday night by hosting No. 8 Linn-Mar in the 2011 opener at Kingston Stadium in southwest Cedar Rapids.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
The J-Hawks lost all nine of their games last season and have dropped 13 straight. They haven't won a game since beating Dubuque Senior, 20-13, on Sept. 25, 2009.
It's been 23 months since Jefferson last won a high school football game.
