Jag Football Moves to 2-0
The Jaguar football team moves to 2-0 for the season with a big win over Emmetsburg 33-6.
The weather the whole week was terrible with the heat and at the start of the game the feel like was 103. The main focus pregame was to stay hydrated and try staying focused and not let the heat mentally break you down. So until kickoff you were not sure if the boys were ready to go or not. Well once the game started you knew the boys came ready to play.
The Jags defense held them zero yards in the first three plays and forced them to punt but ran a fake for 17 yards to keep possession but a few plays later Casey Hanson had an INT to get the Jags the ball.
On the first play Casey Hanson hit Logan Jaeschke for a 79 yard TD. Spencer Peterson made the PAT and Jags led 7-0
Jags defense 3 and out and got the ball back but the Jags offense got stopped right away this time and had to punt it back. Not knowing that was going to be the Jags only punt of the night you thought at that moment those 7 points early were huge.
Jags defense gives up 1 first down but then forces another punt.
Jags keep it on the ground with a quick 14 and 11 yard runs from Casey Hanson and a 22 yard from Wyatt Muench and then Mason Bahr scored from 1 yard out to make the score 13-0
Jags defense a quick 4 and out and the Jags pick up some quick yards with Keelan Wellman catching a 17 yard rec and 14 yards from Casey Hanson on the ground but then the Jags fumbled

Jags defense forces 4th straight 3 and out and the score was 20-0 at half.
After a long hot half the Jags started with the ball and put a 12 play drive together that scored three times with two of them getting called back. There were runs from Jake Paterson, Casey Hanson and Mason Bahr and receptions from Bryce Harrison, Alex Burger and Logan Jaescke for his 3rd TD of the game from Casey Hanson. The 2 TD's called back is one area we must improve on as a team. In 2 games the Jags have had 3 TD's called back due to penalties and this just can not keep happening. The Jags had 7 penalties for 55 yards and you just can't win the big games if that continues. Jags led 26-0
