Sometimes, it can be loud.And Southaven High's Ian Jeffries likes it that way.'I listen to music,' he said. 'I'm a music junkie. I listen to music so much, it's ridiculous. Everything, except country (music). I can't get into that.'The variety of songs from his personal playlists will be pumping up the 6-foot-4, 280-pound Jeffries for an upcoming senior year on the basketball court. But, before that season tips off, he'll be readying for only his second year of high school football. The return to the gridiron as a junior in 2021 – after a previous 10-year hiatus – has been a positive beat on the Charger campus.
