Jaggers: used Kentucky winning 1 See VIEWS on BIO BY LARRY VAUGHT was a war because we were going against one of the best defensive lineman in the Jaggers said I think our overall size and strength took over We kind of put it to them have any real big runs a lot of 3 and 4 yard plays like we did at Danville but those can add What may have added up even more for Kentucky were the physical workouts that head coach Joe Ruddell of Tates Creek put the team through last week the way all star assistant coach Donald Smith the for mer Harrodsburg coach now at Lafayette remembered Tom Duffy doing it when he played for the 1985 Kentucky stars that Duffy guided to a 24 0 win over Tennessee Duffy worked us hard all that Smith said we were ready to play Since Duffy had two of our three wins over Tennessee I told Joe that he must have done something Jaggers said the team worked in full gear Thursday morning SECTION wwwamnewscom wwwgolfkycom LEXINGTON Josh Jaggers resist taking one last look at the scoreboard as he left Commonwealth Stadium just hope Kentucky fans can get used to this It would be a new thing for said the offensive lineman from Danville after he helped Kentucky beat Tennessee 24 6 riday in the annual high school all star football game Jaggers hope that success carries over to the University of Kentucky where be playing his college football want to sound big but I think we can beat Tennessee (at Jaggers said hope we get used to wins like Kentucky At any level This was only fourth win since the all star series was started in 1984 The University of Kentucky has lost 15 straight times to the Volunteers and unlike the high school all star games most have not been close or a change Kentucky was the dominant team in game Normally Tennessee has been bigger stronger and faster This time Tennessee may have been as big but Kentucky was stronger and far more physical SUNDAY JUNE 25 2000 Vaught's views About the only thing Ten nessee did better than Kentucky was talk even when the score was 24 0 Not that Jaggers and UK signees like Matt I luff of Louisville and Jeremy Caudill of Prestonsburg do a little verbal jousting of their own told them to get used to it (the Jaggers who was honored as the senior in football during a halftime ceremony said were doing most of the talking and like it when we brought up the score We had a good time especially listening to them after we got them Jaggers started at left tackle Huff and Daniel Burnett of Dun bar another UK signee were also in the line and more than off set the defensive line of Tennessee that was led by 315 pound Alabama signee Albert Means th Williams keeps committment to Garrard kids By MIKE MARSEE Staff Writer LANCASTER Moe Williams was close to calling the whole thing off The former
