The Gym Rat, Cale Jacobsen, is such an exceptionally savvy basketball player. He set the tone tonight. Drawing fouls, defensive prowess, seeing the court with owl like vision. He needs to be a Division 1 head coach someday.

Here's my story for the Ashland-Greenwood vs Chadron game won 14-13 by the Jays. facebook.com/share/p/1MPWbNN…

It felt like déjà vu all over again. The Blue Jays had pushed Chadron back to a fourth and goal from the 22 in overtime after a Caleb Schink sack of QB Tobin Landen. Yet somehow the Cardinals converted for a touchdown pass. Similar to a situation the Blue Jays faced a few weeks ago versus Wahoo. But stalwart leader Payton Groteluschen said they’ve been through it before and they knew how to deal with it.

The second score for AG came on a jump ball from QB Chase Carson to, who else? Receiver R.J. Goff. The quarterback says he just trusted his receiver.

On the offensive side, Big Blue generated just enough offense to get their 14 points. It all started with a 57 yard touchdown from Chase Carson to Maddux Pearson. Pearson wouldn’t say if he knew the play would generate a score- he was just thankful.

The AG defense has been nails, especially the last 2 weeks. D lineman Caleb Schink has led the charge and he had 2 sacks and multiple tackles for loss today. Here he explains how he got one of his sacks today.

Hartman just hits you, smiles, and then hits you harder. Don’t let that sunny disposition fool you. He’s a menace. He not only had 2 picks- he had a multitude of tackles.

Oh the Smiling Assasin, Braxton Hartman, had himself a game. The safety had 2 picks, helping this Bluejay D bend not break. Hartman says there were lots of people responsible for his interceptions.

Pandemonium in the Panhandle! Ashland Greenwood blocks a PAT to beat Chadron 14-13. Trench warfare was on display- AG had 184 yards (86 on the ground) and Chadron had 224 of offense (170 rushing) This was November football and playoff football. Big Bad Barret Kitrell said this win was about overcoming adversity.

Who needs mountains or oceans when you’ve got Chadron….

Well Momma Mia! What a nice story to wake up to. @LjsLuke you do what you do so well. You were born to tell stories. Thanks for recognizing so many people that has made this venture so special. What a ride!
