Last night, the Junior High Jags Football team wrapped up their season in Rush City. An anonymous source stated that the 7th grade game was officiated on the caliber of an NFL Packer game. The 7th graders lost a hard fought battle 6-0, with many potential scoring drives that stalled out at the end. The 8th grade team won 26-6. Trey Visser had 2 rushing TDs and a tip-toed KR TD up the Jags sideline. Cyliss Lafave scored a rushing TD and a 2pt conversion rush. Chase Klar started the game at QB and won the starting spot in our hearts. Rush City changed their outside run gameplan from earlier in the season in fear of being victim of any more DE Denzer sandwiches, so the Jags interior run game stepped it up and had a strong game. The 8th grade Jags closed their season 4-2, 5-2 if you include the fact that Pine City was too Pine City to play in a little moisture, or to reschedule. A proverbial 5-2 would tie last year's 8th graders for the best season record in Richter JH HFHS FB history but perhaps an asterisk belongs in the record book. The 8th graders had one bad loss when they were forced to play on a tiny Ogilvie 9 man field and change their offensive and defensive scheme without advanced notice. In the 5 other games, the 8th Jags D surrendered a total of only 5 touchdowns on the season. Stingy defense gave coach Richter the confidence to only punt once all season (confidence or incompetence?). Scorers on the season include: Visser (10 tds, 5 rush, 2 rec, 2 pass, 1 KR), Cyliss (9 tds, 5 rush, 2 rec, 1 pass, 1 KR), Seth (1 rush), Buck (1 rec), Blake Painovich (2 pass), Klein (2pt catch), Gage (2pt catch). 8th graders moving on from JH Football to Varsity next year include: Cody "Pound-for-Pound" Klein, Hunter "The Fork" Bork, Derek "The Body" Buck, James "The Sandwich Artist" Denzer, Brytin "The Boulder" Bridges, Trey "From Downtown" Visser, Jerricka "The Flash" Ringler, Chase "Doug Flutie" Klar, Cyliss "Primetime" Lafave, Gabe "Sam Mills" Fredrick, Gage "The Tower" Sorenson, Seth "Troy Polamalu" Olson, and Mathias "Little Lenzen" Lenzen. Junior High Coaches Whelan, Visser, and Richter brag about the growth of these players this year and over the past two years, and wish them luck in the future as they move on to varsity.
