Jaguar Football - Home Playoff Opener

NOW THIS IS EXCITING!!!!!

Our Jaguar football team will open up the Section 5A playoffs next Tuesday, October 24th, at our high school athletic complex where they will host the 2-6 Ortonville Trojans. The Jaguars themselves are 2-6 as well, but have endured nothing less than the most brutal schedule
of any Class A football team in the state.

The Trojans have two Class AA teams on their schedule, the rest are all 1A teams. The Jaguars played six Class AA teams, one Class AAA team, and one Class A team. The Trojans finished their season by hosting Tracy-Milroy-Balaton, losing 28-0.

The Jaguars finished their season tonight at Howard Lake, against the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Lakers (6-2 overall, 5-2 CMC), who finished in third place in the ultra-competitive Central Minnesota Conference. The Jaguars played very competitive football, but lost 28-6. It was a 21-6 game with 5:00 remaining and the Jaguars driving deep into Lakers' territory, when an interception returned for a touchdown by the Lakers took all hopes of winning away from the Jaguars.

The Jaguars will host their playoff opener for the first time since 1997, when they finished as Section 5AA runners-up. This year they finished with 20 section points, good for fourth place, losing a win-loss tiebreaker to third-place Dawson-Boyd (3-5), who will host Royalton (2-6) in their opener. Ortonville finished 2-6 with 14 points, Royalton finished with 13 points.

The Jaguars look forward to an overflow crowd at their home field.

Game time is 7:00. See you there.
