I'm currently finishing up Homecoming football game photos, as well as photos from the Jaguars vs. Osakis volleyball match, and JV girls tennis Jaguars vs. Osakis.
I have 137 photos in the Homecoming football game album. I have at least 40 more to add as well to that album. I have about 90 photos for my Osakis varsity volleyball album.
At the Sauk Herald, we are currently working on creating a "Jaguars Junction" section on the website (www.saukherald.com). Here I will be able to load up information/stats/photos from the games the night of any given event. It's another great way to add coverage for our Jaguars sports team.
On Thursday at 4:30, the Jaguars girls tennis team hosts New London-Spicer in a non-conference match against the fellow Section 5A member Wildcats.
There was some confusion on Tuesday with some tennis fans that thought the varsity played at the high school, when they hosted Maccray. They were dismayed to see our junior varsity team playing at the high school courts. I happened to be there to let them know that they were 7 miles away from where they should be, if they wanted to catch our varsity team in action.
On Thursday night the Jaguars volleyball team travels to Pierz for what I feel will be the Central Minnesota Conference championship. Pierz is stinging after losing on Tuesday night, so I believe they will want to rebound with an upset win over our Jaguars. I hope a nice crowd can make the 82-mile trip.
On Friday night, the Jaguars football team travels to Pierz in a game that I feel the Jaguars can win. They need around 4 or 5 Pierz turnovers to get the job done, and I think the Pioneers will comply with my wish. Pierz has been turnover-happy this season, and I hope it continues in Game #5. When Pierz hosted Eden Valley-Watkins 2 weeks ago, they gave up 5 turnovers in the first half of the game, falling behind 21-0 in the process. Last week in a road game at Rockford, the Pioneers coughed up four lost fumbles and threw one interception.
Pierz out-rushed Rockford 239 to 40! Their secondary also feasted on five Rockets interceptions. The Pioneers' leading rusher was Cody Stangl, who totaled 109 yards in 15 carries. Chad Lanners hauled in five catches for 101 yards.
From the Brainerd Dispatch:
"We moved the ball very well, but turnovers hurt us," said Pierz head coach Leo Pohlkamp. "We ran the ball extremely well and stuffed Rockford's rushing game.
"We have to stop hurting ourselves with turnovers."
(Hey, Pierz, can you hold off just 1 more week before you fix your turnover problem?)
