Hi Jack fans,
The Lumberjacks traveled to St Peter, MN this weekend to play the Gustavus Adolphus JV.
The Jacks came out with a victory with a score of 39 to 21 on a beautiful afternoon. The Jacks got off to a good start with a score on their first drive. The defense set the tone early and had a great first half, holding them scoreless and causing three turnovers. The offense sputtered off and on all day long. We had many nice drives that ended with fumbles, penalties, and dropped passes.
As we move forward, we believe we can improve on many areas of our football team. We must fix our problems on offense if we are going to beat some of the teams coming up. We cannot keep hurting our offense with these kinds of mistakes. If we can eliminate some of these things, then I think we can compete and have a great end to our season.
Hope all the Jack fans have a great week and Go JACKS!

Good morning Jack fans. The Jacks traveled to Mayville last night to play the Mayville State JV.
The Jacks got off to a great start in the first quarter. We kicked off to Mayville and held them on 3 downs and got the ball around midfield and promptly drove down and scored. Mayville fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Jacks took over at the 3 and scored on the next play.
The next quarter and a half the defense played great and the offense sputtered. We had many good scoring opportunities and could not get it back in the endzone until right before half. The second half continued much like the first half with missed opportunities. We were able to get a couple of scores but for the most part the offense struggled with penalties. The game ended up with a final score of 37 to 7 in favor of the Jacks. The Jacks defense played a great game as they gave up no points. Their only score came on a pick six.
We have a few days off before we play next Sunday in Minneapolis. We are happy with the way we are progressing. We think we are getting better each week, but we still have many things that we can clean up and get better at.
Hope you all have a great weekend and Go Jacks!!!!!!

The Lumberjacks hosted the Jaguars from Cole College this afternoon in their homecoming game.
The Jacks came out on top in the game by the score of 69 to 32. We were very pleased with the
offense putting up all those points. We feel we made a few improvements, but we are still making to
mistakes. We feel most of these can be fixed, but we are moving very slowly in that directions.
Our offense had a nice day throwing the ball. We were able to get behind the secondary a couple of times and also missed a couple guys wide open. We struggled running the ball consistently. They constantly brought pressure and we did a poor job of picking it up. That is one area we need to make some big improvements or teams will continue to bring the house at us. We feel we like these are things that we can correct and we need to get it done soon.
Our defense did a nice job today of turning the ball over. We did a nice job against the run, but really struggled giving up the big pass play. Again we think that we can get better defending the pass. When we played solid defense and did our job as a team, we did a nice job. We need to make sure we are all on the same page all the time.
The biggest disappoint is our stupid penalties. Their is no excuse for them, and they will not be tolerated in the future. We want players to play sound fundamental football and right now we have some guys struggling in that department.
Thanks for checking in on the Jacks and hope you have a great weekend. We play this Thursday at Mayville State JV.

Hi Jacks fans,
The Lumberjacks traveled to Fort Dodge, Iowa this weekend and played Iowa Central Tritons.
The Jacks had an ok start and then things fell apart for the first half. The offense had four turnovers and a couple of penalties that really hurt the Jacks. The defense played pretty good other than giving up two long touchdown passes.
The second half the Jacks seemed to settle down and play better football. We stopped turning the ball over and were able to get a couple nice drives going. The defense played another good half of football.
Overall the Jacks really played two totally different halves of football. If we can play the whole game like the second half, then we have a chance to win some games in the future.
This next Saturday the 14th we have our homecoming game at 1pm against Cole College. We hope to see you there and Go Jacks.
Hope you all have a great week and come out and support homecoming activities.
