PANAMA CITY, Fla. — If there were any concerns about early-season rust following last week’s canceled jamboree, Jinks put them to rest almost immediately Tuesday afternoon. Taking the field for their first live snaps of the 2026 campaign, the squad fired on all cylinders from the opening whistle, rolling past North Bay Haven for a statement 39-0 shutout victory. Despite heading into the contest without the benefit of preseason game reps, the offense moved the ball with clinical efficiency, amassing 367 yards of total offense in a nearly split attack—grinding out 188 yards on the ground and picking up 179 through the air. Javion Thomas took center stage, gashing the defense for four total touchdowns: two on the ground, one through the air as a passer, and another as a receiver. Khamari Boles delivered a monster performance on both sides of the ball, punching in a rushing score before reading the North Bay Haven quarterback, jumping a route, and taking an interception all the way back to the house for a pick-six. The defensive unit matched the offense’s intensity, flying to the football on every snap and suffocating North Bay Haven to under 50 yards of total offense across four quarters. While the blowout provides plenty of positive tape, the team will turn its focus to refining the finer details during an upcoming Week 2 bye. The extra rest comes at a critical time, giving Jinks two weeks to heal up and prepare for a pivotal Week 3 showdown against the powerhouse Rutherford Rams in a matchup with major county title implications.
