Good afternoon Jack fans,
Last night the Lumberjacks hosted the Comet JV from Mayville State and came away with a 45 to 0 victory to run our record to 7 and 1. The Jacks played their best game of the year to date. We played pretty solid football the whole night. The offense had a good night running the ball and only had one turnover. We were also able to eliminate some of the penalties that had been killing us. We still have a ways to go, but if we can keep making some improvements that should help our offense.
The defense had a pretty solid night. We were able to keep them out of the end zone which is always a good thing. I thought we started out really well and then kind of leveled out. We had some chances to make some key stops and plays, but we were not as sharp as we have been lately.
Next week the Jacks host Metro State from Denver on Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. Hope to see you all there as the Jacks try to keep things rolling.
Have a great weekend and Go Jacks!!!!

Hi Jack Fans,
The Lumberjacks got another win yesterday with a 27 to 20 victory over Concordia yesterday.
The Jacks got off to another great start scoring on their first position to grab a quick 7 to 0 lead.
The defense got the offense the ball back in great field position, but the offense was not able to take advantage and gave the ball back on a turnover.
The rest of the game was a struggle on offense as the same things continue to hurt the offense. We continue to hurt ourselves with penalties and turnovers. The defense played a solid game and came up with a big stop in the end to win the game for us.
The Jacks are back in action again on Friday night at 6 against Mayville State Junior Varsity. Hope to see you all there supporting our Lumberjacks.
Hope you have a great week and Go Jacks!

Hi Jack Fans,
Yesterday the Jacks traveled to Wahpeton and came away with a hard fought 14 to 13 win to move their record to 5 and 1 on the year. The Jacks started off fast scoring on their opening drive to grab a quick 7 to 0 lead. The rest of the first half was another half of frustration as the Jacks had some good scoring opportunities but could not get the ball back in the end zone. The Wildcats completed a couple of big pass plays that put them in position to score their two touchdowns. The Jacks had a great chance to take the lead just before half, but a big mental mistake took away a pick six.
The second half was a battle back and forth with the Jacks taking a lead early in the fourth quarter.
Wahpeton had a couple more chances but the defense came up big the whole second half. They had a big pass play and a couple quarterback scrambles that gave them a chance to kick a long field goal at the end, but it was not successful giving the Jacks a big win.
The offense still has a long ways to go. We still make to many unforced mistakes to be a good offense. When we hit on all cylinders we do some good things, but we have not been consistent enough over this whole year. The defense had another good game. We gave up two long pass plays, but other then that it was a good effort. We have a few things that we need to get better at and hopefully that will make our defense really solid.
Hope you all have a great week. The Jacks play next Sunday at Concordia.
Go Jacks!
