Jax State Unveils New Ticketing Platform
High School Football Notes BOAZ PIRATES The Boaz Pirates are moving from Class 5A Region 7 to Region 8 this fall. The ship is led by Jeremy Sullivan, who is in his 8th year as head Coach. Boaz opens the season with back-to-back home games against Madison Academy on Aug. 23 and county rival Albertville on Aug. 30. SARDIS LIONS The Sardis Lions are also moving from Class 5A Region 7 to Region 8. The program finished last year with a 6-4 record, but missed the state playoffs. The Lions have not advanced to the playoffs since 2019. The program is under the direction of second year head coach B.J. Brooks. DOUGLAS EAGLES The Douglas Eagles are another team that is moving from Class 5A Region 7 to Region 8. The Eagles finished 4-6 overall last fall and have not made the state playoffs since the 2021 season. Douglas is under the direction of 5th year head coach Brandon Lyles. CHEROKEE COUNTY Last year the Cherokee County Warriors reached the Class 4A State Finals, where the program fell just short of a state title. The team finished with a 13-2 overall record and 9-1 regular season record. The Warriors only regular season loss was to Fort Payne. Cherokee County will begin its quest for a perfect season and another chance at the state title on August 23 against Piedmont. SCOTTSBORO The Scottsboro Wildcat football program is under the direction of new Head Coach Tyler Vann. The program is also moving from Class 5A Region 7 to Region 8. The Wildcats are looking to improve from last years 8-3 record and the program will begin that quest on August 23 against Fort Payne.
Jacksonville State University has launched a new online ticketing platform, which will allow Gamecock fans to manage all aspects of their new ticket accounts through their mobile devices. The Paciolan software's rollout comes two weeks away from Jax State's season-opening football game. While prior 2024 ticket sales have been integrated into the system, fans now have the ability to log in and select their specific seats inside AmFirst Stadium. Fans
have the option to purchase Reserved Seats, Club Level Seats or new Loge seating options. When selecting a seat, be sure to take note of the section name and seat details. Different seating options are designated by their location (loge seats along the top of the north sideline, club seats in the upper sections on the south sideline) and will not display differently from other options on the main stadium chart. All fans will need to create a new ticket account
that will be home to all future ticketing transactions. Gamecock fans that have purchased seats in the past, or are signed up for Email Updates, should have received a PACtivation Email in their inbox with a link to register their account. The Digital Ticket Assist page has step-by-step instructions from sign-in to selecting your seat. Fans may continue to access online tickets through JaxStateSports. com/Tickets or by visiting the Jax State Ticket Office webpage.
