On October 31, the Jaguars crushed the Overton Eagles in Howells, NE, with a score of 44-8. This Halloween game was a great win for the Jaguars, still on their perfect, undefeated season. Although this game was very cold, the Jaguars had a lot of momentum to smoke the Eagles.
To start off the game, Hunter Luther got the first touchdown with a 47-yard touchdown, and also got the 2-point conversion, bringing the score to 8-0. The next touchdown for the Jags was a 48-yard touchdown by Oliver Belina, conversion failed. At the end of the first quarter, the Jags were still in the lead 14-0. With 27 seconds left in the second quarter, the Jaguars finally got another touchdown with an 8-yard pass from Dane Meyer to Konner Bourek, conversion failed. The Jaguars were not done yet, and with 14 seconds left, Hunter Luther got a safety. This will bring the score at half-time to 26-8.
Going into the third quarter, Hunter Luther got a 74-yard touchdown; the conversion was run in by Andrew Brester. With 30 seconds left of the third quarter, Hunter Luther got a 56-yard touchdown; the conversion was passed from Dane Meyer to Konner Bourek. To end the game, Andrew Brester had a 12-yard touchdown run, which concluded the game with the score of 44-8.
Here is what Andre Martin had to say after the win, “Yeah, we got off to kind of a rocky start, but once we got into the groove of things, we got it to go our way.”
The Jags will host the next round of playoffs on Friday, November 7, against the 9-1 Lawrence-Nelson Raiders.
