RUN AIDS JM SENIORS

James Monroe football coach Rich Serbay didn't see many college recruiters this past season.

But that's all changed.

Serbay said several JM players are on the college radar after the Yellow Jackets won the Group AA, Division 3 state championship on Dec. 6.

Star wide receiver Devontae Atkins was recently paid a visit by Liberty University's coaching staff.

Serbay said Atkins must retake the SAT before he's offered a scholarship.

Big Switch Makes For Big Season

James Monroe Coach Rich Serbay said there were plenty of people in the Fredericksburg area who wondered why he made a surprising switch just before the season, moving DeVontae Atkins from quarterback to wide receiver. In 2007, Atkins was a first-team Virginia AA Region I selection at quarterback after guiding the Yellow Jackets to the playoffs. Most opponents and fans had never even heard of Atkins's replacement, senior John Jackson. "People thought I was crazy, but I knew exactly what I was doing," Serbay said. "I needed a leader, I needed a general, and John wound up being that general." With Jackson at quarterback, James Monroe (12-1) is headed for its first state championship appearance since 1996 when it faces Brookville on Saturday at noon in Lynchburg for the AA Division 3 title. According to Serbay, Jackson has been the key -- he's passed for 2,006 yards and 28 touchdowns -- thanks to his poise on the field. Atkins, too, has thrived along with Jackson, catching 49 passes for 879 yards and 15 touchdowns.
