The Jacks traveled to Ellendale to play Lions from Trinity Bible on Saturday afternoon. The Jacks came away with a tough 6 to 0 victory. The Jacks struggled all day scoring in the red zone. We were in the red zone 5 times before we were finally able to get one in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

The offense was able to move the ball but was hurt by penalties, a wet field, a 25 to 30 mile an hour wind, and missed assignments at crucial times. The only drive we scored on we had no penalties and played good football. It was a tough day to move the ball and score with the field conditions and the wind but we did an ok job. We just had to many mistakes to get the ball in the end zone.

The defense had a good day. We kept them out of the end zone which is always a great thing. For the most part the defense played well. When we gave up some yards it was because of missed assignments. Overall a good performance by the defense.

The Jacks have completed their regular season and have had a very good year. We have been contacted about the possibility of playing in a bowl game in December. We will know more and will be sure to let you know if that comes true.

Have a great week and Go Jacks!!!!!!!

Saturday afternoon the Jacks hosted the Wildcats from Wahpeton. The Jacks got off to a good start and grabbed an early 7 to 0 lead. The game was tied up at 7 at halftime. The Jacks had a couple very good scoring opportunities in the second quarter and could not get the ball in the endzone. The Jacks came out in the third quarter and grabbed a 13 to 7 lead again. They lead until late in the third quarter when the wildcats went on a scoring drive to take a 16 to 13 lead at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the wildcats had two big pass plays and the jacks had one big pass play to make the final score 30 to 21 in favor of the cats.

The Jacks offense really struggled getting anything going consistently. At times the Jacks moved the ball and at other times the offense really struggled. I believe we can do some things  that can help us this weekend at Ellendale. The defense had a good first half only giving up one big play. In the second half we gave up 3 big plays that all lead to scores for them.

This weekend the Jacks travel to Ellendale for a game. Thanks for your support of Jacks football and have a great week.  Go Jacks
