About last night
Football, volleyball and wrestling are the topics
The Jackson County Central football team won its home opener Friday, while Martin County West lost on the road.
Also, some local grads were in action on college volleyball courts Friday and anytime of year is a good time to talk about wrestling around JCC.
JCC football
Jackson County Central’s offense scored seven touchdowns, and the defense added two more as the Huskies rolled past Worthington 62-7 Friday night at Swearingen Field.
Roman Voss figured in five of JCC’s touchdowns. He ran for three TDs (9, 63 and 71 yards) and threw for two more (5 yards to Grant Freking and 71 to Ben Dahlin).
Other offensive scores came on a five-yard run by Tavion Diggs and a 44-yard run by Tate Phillips.
The Huskies had a pair of pick sixes on defense as Isaac Hesebeck returned an interception 32 yards for a TD and Gage Johnson went 80 yards for a touchdown with his interception.
JCC is 2-0 and will play at Blue Earth Area next Friday. The Buccaneers are 0-2 after a 60-14 loss to Triton (2-0) Friday.
