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!
