Wolf Point High School senior Da’shaun Jackson likes contact. That’s partly explains his involvement in football and wild horse racing. Jackson has also competed in basketball and track during his high school career, but football is his favorite sport. The 340-pounder played left guard and noseguard for the Wolves. He explains that he enjoys playing football because of the sport’s aggressiveness.
