Good Morning Jack fans,
The Lumberjacks opened the season on Saturday with a 22-9 victory over Minnesota West at Worthington. The Jacks recovered a fumble on the opening offensive play but were not able to put the ball in the end zone and had to settle for a field goal attempt that just was a little wide. The Jacks defense held and the offense was able to get it in the end zone for our first touchdown of the year. We followed that up with another field goal to take a 10 zero lead after the first quarter.  The offense really struggled the second quarter with mistakes. They scored on a punt return with about 6 minutes left in the half. The Jacks were able to put together a drive and had a pass dropped in the end zone and missed another field goal as we went to half time with a 10 to 7 lead.

The second half started with the jacks holding and getting the ball back and driving down and scoring.  A couple plays later the defense came up big with a pick six. The offense had some drives but were never able to get it in the end zone again, but the defense played solid the whole game.

The Jacks are off this week, but will be put to good use to sharpen up our offense and a couple things on defense.

Have a Great Day and Go Jacks!!!!
