JACKSON -- Jamie Mitchell believes adversity can be a positive.
That's a philosophy the Starkville High School football coach has had to espouse over and over and over again this season.
It's a credit to Mitchell and his coaches that the Yellow Jackets have been able to withstand a multitude of injuries and the loss of four offensive starters from the 2011 state runner-up team and fight to earn a return trip to Jackson.
"We are really big on adversity makes you better," Mitchell said.
