Oklahoma commit Jackson, Smallwood power Foster past Goose Creek Memorial in 5A-I Bi-District round

The Foster Falcons strike a pose after their Bi-District playoff win.

Matt Reese (VYPE)

Every now and then, you watch a high school football player in action and you just know: This kid is going to be a star on the next level.

Foster wide receiver Cody Jackson is one of those players.

Jackson and the Falcons were dominant in their 49-7 win over Goose Creek Memorial in the Bi-District round of the 5A-I Region III playoffs.


"He's [Jackson] a once in a lifetime type of guy," Foster head coach Shaun McDowell said. "He's the ultimate competitor. He wants the ball….[Cody] is a matchup problem. That's why he's going to OU."

Foster QB Philip Amy made sure to get the ball to him early and often.

Jackson, who finished the game with two touchdown receptions (23 and 15 yards), looked the part of a D1 recruit. Lining up in both the slot and on the outside, Jackson was explosive, efficient and demanded at least two defenders on him for the entire second half.

His first touchdown of the game could easily be on a segment of ESPN's "You Got Mossed." The senior OU commit floated in the air and snatched the ball from the top of his defender's head. His second score, he showcased his speed on a screen play he took 23 yards, blowing by four different Patriot defenders.

Jackson, though, wasn't the only Falcon to have himself a game.

Senior RB Xavier Smallwood opened the scoring with a 91-yard burst through a hole for a touchdown. Smallwood added his second TD of the game with 6 minutes left in the second quarter, giving Foster a 28-0 lead, which they took to half. Fellow senior Anthony Prowell added another score on Foster's first drive of the 3rd quarter. Prowell and Smallwood each finished the game just shy of 100 yards rushing. Senior Parker Hearon capped the game with a late TD scamper to put the finishing touches on a dominant ground performance by Foster.

In the passing game, Amy certainly did not shy away from using his weapons. Jackson, Taribbean Ramirez and Kendal Stewart consistently saw shots down the field as Foster stretched the GCM defense thin.

Like Jackson, Ramirez earned himself a Top-10 worthy highlight catch in the 4th quarter for a 30-yard score, ripping the ball away from a GCM defender in the back of the endzone.

For Goose Creek Memorial, it was a bittersweet game. The Patriots ended a seven-year playoff drought, winning their last four games of the regular season to clinch a playoff berth.

Foster, though, was too much for GCM on both sides of the ball.

The Patriots' lone score of the game came on a 75-yard drive, capped by 10-yard touchdown pass from Mason Duke to sophomore Ben Gaston in the third quarter.

Foster now moves on to the Area round of the 5A-I playoffs, where the Falcons will face the winner of Cedar Park and SA Veterans Memorial.

The Falcons did have over 100 yards of penalties in the game, something Coach McDowell acknowledged his team would have to fix moving forward.

"We're an aggressive team and we're going to continue to be an aggressive team. We'll try to eliminate those penalties. They didn't really hurt us…but we've got to clean that up a bit."

With one game down, Jackson and the Falcons are happy with the win, but have bigger goals in their sights.

"The ultimate goal is state," Jackson said. "We think we're the best in the state."

Emotional Night: Barbers Hill's Collier reflects on WNBA Draft, picked No. 1 overall

Joshua Koch
16 Apr, 2021

HOUSTON - It was a moment that Charli Collier was destined for.

Collier, wearing a dress designed by former First Lady Michelle Obama's stylist Sergio Hudson, sat behind a single round table. To her right was her mother Ponda and to her left younger brother Casey, who is a lineman at USC. In the middle of the table was a beautiful bouquet of pink roses and just beside it a framed photo of her late father Elliott.

A night that Elliott, who passed away in April 2016, envisioned for his daughter since the eighth grade was here and his dream of her being No.1 came to fruition.

Charli Collier - the No. 1 overall pick of the 2021 WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings.

"I thought about him the whole time, the whole moment he was there," Collier, who pointed straight to the sky the moment her name was called, said. "It was just really emotional. It was a crazy feeling. He always told me I'd be No. 1. To have that come into play it was crazy. I was a little nervous when [WNBA Commissioner] Cathy [Engelbert] came and made the pick, it was emotions everywhere.

"I still can't believe it. It's unreal and I can't put it into words."
