2024 Academic All District

As coach of the Southeast Valley Jaguar Football team, I would like to thank everyone for their support this season. The student cheer section, as well as all of the Jaguar fans, showed great support all season and it was always great when the boys got to do their cheer with you after each win. There are so many people who take time out of their lives to help the football program and it is very much appreciated. I would like to thank my coaching staff of Aaron Swieter, Mark Graves, Mitch Murphy, Kyle Johnson, Gary Balk and their families, as well as my wife, Mindy, for the time and dedication to this program. Nobody except other coaches understand the time spent outside of school and practice to have a successful program and all of our coaches give time out of their lives to better the football team. Special thanks to Megan Davis, our athletic trainer, as she also spends hours and hours helping get our kids back on the field. She has been tremendous at keeping our kids healthy and safe. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Brad Lane for his years of volunteering to help the team. Brad has been the team statistician for 28 years. Our videographer, Greg Hiesterman, does a great job videotaping the Friday night games. Dennis Swieter also helps with tackle statistics on Friday nights. Thanks to all of the additional Friday night home game helpers including Kerry Hanlon, Bruce McCormick, Pat Kehoe and Brian Hanson preparing the sports complex for games, the Chain Gain Crew, and the workers in the press box. All the EMT’s and police officers that help during and after the games. To the Cheerleaders and coaches, the Band and director, concession stand workers and ticket takers. Thanks to all the bus drivers. Thanks to our local newspapers for your continued coverage and photos! More than anything, I need to thank the players and especially the Senior players and Mangers . Your hard work and dedication to this team has paid off and got us where we are today. You have bought into our program and learned what it takes to become a Jaguar. It is not an easy route, but always worth the effort. You have demonstrated what it takes to be successful and this can carry over into every aspect of your life. Never forget what it means to work hard and always believe in yourself. I enjoy every second getting the opportunity to work with you guys. I wish you guys the very best in the future. There are so many more people that have given their time and talents to the SV Football Program and to all of you, I extend my heartfelt appreciation. I apologize if I missed anyone, but know that I appreciate each and every one of you. - Coach Mike Swieter

Football Thank Yous

The Jaguar football team gave #5 ranked Carroll Kuemper everything they had in their last game of the season.&nbsp;Kuemper came into the contest ranked 5th in class 2A and already locked up back to back District Championships and the Jags were dealing with a ton of injuries so nobody knew what to expect.&nbsp;All that was asked&nbsp;from the boys was to give everything that you have one last time this season and see what happens. Jags started the first drive with a nice 12 play drive but were forced to punt. Kuemper took their first&nbsp;drive 10 plays and then Logan Jaeschke had an interception and got the ball back to the Jags. Jags offense took another 12 play drive to the 4 yard line and attempted a Field Goal to try taking the lead but missed. Kuemper took over and put together a 17 play scoring drive.&nbsp;The longest drive of the season for them by far as the Jags defense was holding their own but Kuemper was still good enough to move&nbsp;the chains. Before you knew it halftime was there and the Jags were only behind 0-7 to the best team in the district. It was a wake up call to Kuemper as their coach's exact words were we came out and punched them in the mouth the first half.&nbsp;They wasted no time in the second half as they came out and scored in 4 plays.&nbsp;Then they recovered a perfect onside kick and took that down and scored and before the Jags ever&nbsp;touched the ball the second half Kuemper had scored twice. Now down 3 TD's, what were the Jags going to do?&nbsp;They continued to fight and put together a 13 play drive with runs and passes and Brady Hanson ran in a TD from 6 yards out. Jags defense forced a quick punt but threw an Interception right back to them. Kuemper took advantage of that and scored right away. The Jags offense put together one last drive with runs and passes to Logan Jaeschke and then Cale Vansickle hit Logan Jaeschke for a 10 yard TD to make the final score 12-34. This is a game where the boys never gave up and they gave everything they had in them.&nbsp;That is all we wanted as coaches.&nbsp;We are proud of their effort and really proud of the Seniors for giving everything they had to this program one last time. As we send the Seniors on to Winter Sports we will take a little time off and start preparing for next season.&nbsp;A Lot of young kids got playing time this season and hopefully that experience pays off for them down the road but they need to dedicate themselves to off-season weight lifting if they want to get better.

SV vs Kuemper

The Jaguar football team lost a heartbreaker&nbsp;7-10 to Greene County. The Jaguar offense got down to the red zone a couple times the first half but could not get into the endzone.Greene County was 1 play better than the Jags the first half with a 41 yard TD from their QB and Greene County led 7-0 at half. The Jags defense got the ball back early in the 3rd quarter but the Jags threw an Interception.Greene County took advantage of the turnover and took a 10-0 lead. Finally&nbsp;in the 4th the Jags got the passing game going and Cale Vansickle hit Logan Jaeschke for an 8 yard TD.&nbsp;Spencer Peterson made the Extra point and the Jags were only down by 3. Jags defense stuffed Greene County 3 more times and gave the balls back to the offense but the Jags either turned it over or had mistakes that prevented them from scoring and tying&nbsp;it up at the end of the game. These two teams could play 10 times and the score would go back and forth as both teams were very equal. This was a gut wrenching loss as this eliminated the Jags from making the playoffs. The Jags will finish their season next week Home against&nbsp;Carroll Kuemper.

Varsity Football Loses a Heartbreaker

The SV JV Football team traveled to Manson-NW and defeated the Cougars by the score of 26-20 on 10/07/24.

Well this was a game the coaches had no clue how it was going to turn out as the Jags have been fighting through injuries the whole season and it has not improved over the last few weeks.&nbsp;The Jags were missing 3 starting offensive linemen and one of their RB's going into this game so the coaches asked some young kids to step up and play this week and asked the others to lead the way and that is what they all did and the coaches could not be happier with this outcome. Saydel had the leader in Class 2A QB with throwing yards and the top WR in class 2A so we knew we had to throw something at them to slow them down.&nbsp;Coach Graves installed a new look for the week and the boys took the entire week to learn it but it paid off as they held Saydel to zero points and forced 4 turnovers.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Jaguars wasted no time after a Casey Hanson Interception as Logan Jaeschke took the first play of the game for 82 yards to the 4 yard line and Brady Hanson ran it in for the TD and Spencer Peterson made the PAT. Jags defense forces the second straight punt. Jags offense got things rolling with some great passing and catching but got held out and turned it over on downs.&nbsp;Before we knew it it was the end of the 1st quarter and the Jags led 7-0 Then the Jags offense started to really get things going for the rest of the game.&nbsp;Cale hit Gauge&nbsp;Jones for a quick 16 yards, followed by a 8 yard Drew Temple run, then Cale hit Logan Jaeschke for 9 and then Cale Vansickle ran in a 19 yard TD. On the kickoff Saydel fumbled and Clay Lambert recovered&nbsp;the fumble and got the ball right back. The next drive was the Cale&nbsp;Vansickle drive.&nbsp;He ran the ball 5 times for 35 yards and scored his 2nd straight&nbsp;TD and Spencer Peterson made the PAT and just like that the Jags were ahead 20-0 Saydel tried to get things going but Logan Jaeschke got an INT and gave the Jag the ball back but the Jags were not able to get things going so had to punt. Jags defense kept things rolling and Preston Kennedy was sacking the QB and forced a fumble on the 1 yard line and Joe Kauffman recovered the fumble. 1 Play later Drew Temple ran in for a TD and Jags led 26-0 at half. Jags open up second half&nbsp;with Drew Temple and Cale Vansickle runs and Cale Vansickle ran in his 3rd TD and Spencer Peterson made the PAT Next drive the Jags Cale&nbsp;hitting Logan Jaeschke for a 16 yard&nbsp;TD and Spencer Peterson made the PAT Jags forced another punt and got the ball&nbsp;back.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cale hit Gauge&nbsp;Jones&nbsp;for a quick 8, Bryce Harrison for&nbsp;7, and then hit Gauge&nbsp;Jones for a 53 TD&nbsp;and Spencer&nbsp;Peterson made the PAT Following Possession&nbsp;Gauge&nbsp;Jones get an INT and gave the ball back 1 last time. The younger kids took the field with Coach Aaron Swieter calling the plays and they took it right down the field with passes from Casey Hanson to Bryce Harrison 3 straight times for 45 yards and Bryce Harrison finished&nbsp;the last play with at 7 yard TD reception followed by a Spencer Peterson PAT. Jaguar football team wins 54-0 This was a great game as the Jags to get a win and gain their confidence back.&nbsp;The Jags play Greene County next week at home

Jaguar football team wins 54-0

As the JVR Jaguars headed to Story City to open up the action before the Varsity against the Norsemen of Roland-Story, the game plan for the Jaguars was very simple: Control the Line of Scrimmage. They did just that, receiving the opening kicking of the game and possessing the football for the entirety of the first quarter, finishing with a Declan McGuire touchdown run and Spencer Peterson point after touchdown kick attempt.&nbsp;The Norsemen would score one touchdown before halftime to tighten the game to 8-6 at halftime. After halftime, the Jaguar defense, led by Linebackers Deegan Brandel, Evan Frana, Owen Pudenz and Caden Cramer clamped down on the Roland-Story offense not allowing any more points and very few first downs. Declan McGuire would continue to lead the Jaguar offense, executing Coach Aaron Swieter’s game plan masterfully, accounting for two more touchdowns on the ground to extend the final score to 21-6. The JVR Jaguars now sit at 2-1 on the season.

JVR Jaguars Control both Lines of Scrimmage, Defeat the Norsemen 21-6.

The Jaguar football team had another tough loss after another bad first quarter as the Jags found themselves down 21-0 in the first quarter&nbsp;for the second straight&nbsp;game.&nbsp;The boys have to be ready to play right away because we just can't overcome being down that much early in the games. In the second quarter Cale Vansickle had a 52 yard run for the TD and Spencer Peterson made the extra point to make the score 21-7 but Roland Story scored 2 more times before half and made the score 35-7. All we talked about at half was if they were going to give up or fight and for the second straight week the boys came out and fought and won the second half 10-7. The second half was a much better half.&nbsp;Lenix Allbee tried kicking Thursday night and was good so we let him try a Field Goal from 33 yards out and he made it and set a new school record&nbsp;in doing so.&nbsp;Later in the game Lenix Allbee&nbsp;blocked a punt and scored a TD from it.&nbsp;Spencer Peterson made the extra point and the Jgas outscored Roland Story 10-7 in the second half and that made the Coaches happy that the boys kept fighting. The Jags are dealing with numerous injuries and need to get healthy before next week. The Jags will head to Saydel next week for Varsity only at 7:00. The JVR game has been cancelled

Jags lose 42-17

As the JVR Jaguars looked to defend their home field against the Lions of Des Moines Christian prior to the Varsity kickoff on Friday night, the heat and the opponent proved to be a difficult match up for the underclassmen squad.&nbsp;Despite going up 8-6 early in the game after a beautiful play call from Coach Aaron Swieter led to the lone score, a pass connection from QB Dawson Tuel to WR Conner Rentz, the young squad struggled to find consistency as the game progressed. The second half was a shut-out for both teams, neither offense able to find any footing, keeping the score&nbsp;deadlocked at 33-8 as the final buzzer sounded.&nbsp;Despite the final score, the Young Jaguar squad will look to improve on their fundamentals and continue to develop as they prepare for their curtain raiser this Friday night against the Norsemen of Roland-Story at 4:45. Thank you for your support and GO JAGS!

JVR Jaguars Fall to Des Moines Christian in Homecoming Curtain Raiser 33-8

This was a tough game for the boys but a learning experience for the rest of the season and for the rest of their lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;In sports there are a lot of ups and downs and sometimes you just play an opponent&nbsp;that is better than you.&nbsp;This was the case with Des Moines&nbsp;Christian.&nbsp;We have no excuse, they just are the better team this year.Both the players and coaches knew going into this game that they were going to be challenged as DC had their way with the Jags last season and returned most of their team but the challenge was how would&nbsp;the Jags respond and that is what the coaches were looking for.&nbsp;Would the boys go out and fight or would they let last season affect this outcome was the question. So the boys took the field with 20 boys eligible&nbsp;to play Friday night as Des Moines Christian had 60 and you could tell DC passed the look test.&nbsp;They were big and fast and had a lot of numbers.&nbsp;The first quarter was a lot like last season where the Jags found themselves down early 20-6 and that is where the boys became men and kept on fighting for the rest of the game.&nbsp;Down 20-6 and looking back on last season that was their chance to throw in the towel but the boys never gave up and fought hard the last 3 quarters of the game.&nbsp;The Jags were still fighting till the end when there had been no scoring the second half and with 4 minutes to go DC left their starters in against the Jags backups for the final score.&nbsp;So even when you look at&nbsp;scores, coaches are looking at who kept fighting and who gave up and the coaches saw a bunch of kids who kept fighting and that is all we can ask. The Jaguars are dealing with some major injuries this season and are trying to find some younger kids who can step up for us.&nbsp;The boys have some tough challenges in front&nbsp;of them so we will see who is gonna fight for us the rest of the season.

Jaguar football team falls to 2-2 for the season.

The SV JV Football team defeated SCC by the score of 13-0.&nbsp;The game was played on 09/16/24 in Gowrie.

Dawson Tuel threw a 55 yard TD pass to Colin Johnson for the other Jaguar score in the second half. The JV Football team is now 2-0.

The Jaguar football team wins a nail bitter and moves to 2-1 on the season by defeating Clarion Goldfield&nbsp;20-13 The Jags started on offense but were forced to punt just after 3 plays. The Jags defense was stout right off the bat and forced Clarion to punt after 2 plays. The Jags offense put a 11 play drive together but could not put it into the endzone. Jags defense forces second straight 3 and out and just like that it was the end of the 1st quarter 0-0 Jags offense put another 11 play drive together with runs from Cale Vansickle and Brady Hanson with great blocking from the line and Cale Vansickle was stuffed at the 1 yard line and bounced it outside and completely&nbsp;runs over the defender for the TD and the Jags led 6-0 Clarion bounced right back as the Jags defender slipped and fell and Clarion&nbsp;found the wide open guy for a 63 yard TD and made the PAT and took a 7-6 lead. Jags offense put together a 14 play drive with a lot of runs early and the Cale&nbsp;Vansickle hit Brady Hanson on 4th and 7th for a much needed first down and the Cale&nbsp;Vansickle hit Logan Jaeschke for the TD and the Jags led 12-7 at half.&nbsp;The screen to Brady was set up very nicely by the line for this to work the way it did. The second half was not the start the Jags were looking for.&nbsp;Clarion returned the opening kickoff 20 yards and on their first play they ran in a 54 yard TD and just like that the Jags were down 13-12. On the next drive the Jags found themselves at 3rd and very long so instead of trying to force a throw the Jags gave it to Brady Hanson and he ran it for a first down which really broke Clarions back.&nbsp;Next play Cale Vansickle runs for a 56 yard TD and also runs in the 2 point conversion and the Jags lead 20-13. The rest of the game was back and forth and the Jags defense stayed strong the rest of the game by only allowing 4 total first downs the entire game.&nbsp;Coach Graves had a great game plan and the boys executed&nbsp;it perfectly. This was a great win for the boys.&nbsp;The boys are dealing with some injuries so we really need some younger kids to step up and be ready to play.

Varsity Football vs Eagle Grove

With the weather cooperating and the sun shining brightly, the JVR Jaguar Football squad made its way to Rockwell City to play the Titans of South Central Calhoun.&nbsp;The JVR offense focused on an old school approach of "3 yards and a cloud of dust" football dominating time of possession throughout the game behind the masterful play calling of Offensive Coordinator, Coach Aaron Swieter, taking a 8-0 lead into halftime with the score coming from a Declan McGuire touchdown run after possessing the football for 8 minutes and 30 seconds of the 2nd quarter. The second half was much of the same from the Jaguar Offense, a controlled offensive approach mixing runs from the Fullback, Tailback and Quarterback positions.&nbsp;Landon Vote, Dawson Tuel, Jacob Paterson, Conner Rentz and Declan McGuire all contributed in the backfield to keep the offense humming.&nbsp;Declan McGuire led the way in the backfield scoring twice for the Jaguars.&nbsp;Dawson Tuel also contributed a rushing touchdown from the Quarterback position with Jake Paterson contributed with some big, physical runs from the Fullback position. The Jaguar defense set the tone early for this game, dominating the South Central Calhoun Offense and ensuring they earned every inch of offense while they possessed the ball.&nbsp;&nbsp;The JVR Jaguar defense created a lot of highlight type plays while shutting out the South Central Calhoun Offense on Thursday night including a multitude of Quarterback Sacks, an Interception and a Blocked Punt.&nbsp;Leading the way for the Jaguar defense was Korbin Spangler with a number of tackles for loss and sacks, Deegan Brandel with multiple big plays including the Blocked Punt and Conner Rentz who came up with a Big Interception in the 3rd Quarter. The JVR Jaguars will be off until Homecoming Week when they will play a curtain raiser before the Varsity against the Des Moines Christian Lions.&nbsp;GO JAGS!!!!

2024 SV High School Football Camp  Information

The SV JV football team traveled to Carroll Kuemper on 10/16/23 and were defeated by the score of 26-0. The Jaguars JV record was 5-1 on the year. Coach Johnson commented,&nbsp;"We had a very successful season this year with many talented players.&nbsp;We look for great things going forward with this group of you men!"&nbsp;"Coaching with a Defensive Coach and motivator Mitch Murphy is a pure joy!&nbsp;He brings enthusiasm and competitive&nbsp;fun to the game." Coach Murphy commented,&nbsp;" I enjoyed this group of guys!&nbsp;I even found a few Dawgs and Leaders for Coach Graves' defense next year!" Both Coach Murphy and Johnson would like to thank Head Coach Swieter for allowing them to coach in his system and both echoed,&nbsp;" Coach Swieter brings a lot of hard work and passion to the Jaguar Football Program.&nbsp;He lets&nbsp;his coaches coach." Thanks to all the parents, family members, and fans who supported us all year.

SV JV Football @ Carroll

The Southeast Valley football team traveled to Carroll to take on the 6th ranked Kuemper and gave them one of the hardest&nbsp;fought games they had had all year.&nbsp;The boys fought&nbsp;to the end but just could not match them throughout the whole game.&nbsp;Kuemper had not given us a first down in the first quarter&nbsp;and the Jags had 3 in the first quarter.&nbsp;The Jags did miss a couple opportunities&nbsp;to score and that would have been huge because Kuemper only gave up an average of less than 6 points a game for the season. Once the horn sounded it looked like their season was over at 5-3 because Greene County was up 20 on Des Moines Christian.&nbsp;As the boys headed back to the locker room crying and thinking our season was over Des Moines Christian had a huge comeback to win and that made it where the Jags were back in the playoffs.&nbsp;I have never seen a group of boys more excited than this group because we all thought it was over.&nbsp;&nbsp; To be back in the playoffs as a program is huge.&nbsp;The boys have worked hard and deserve the chance to move on.&nbsp;The boys will play Spirit Lake next Friday at 7:00 PM at Spirit Lake.&nbsp;Thank you to all the fans who came out in the rain to support&nbsp;the boys.

Jags back in the playoffs

The SV JV Football team took the field in Gowrie, IA and faced a tough Woodward-Granger Hawk team on 10/09/23.&nbsp;The SV Jaguars ended up avenging their loss last year by defeating the Hawks, 35-6. The quote by Defensive Coordinator Murphy summed it all up, " Defense is the backbone of any successful football team."&nbsp;&nbsp;The JV Jaguars have only given up an average of 8 points a game through 5 games!&nbsp;Thanks in credit to the blitzing aggressive style of Coach Murphy.&nbsp;Murphy has proven when to blitz and when to fall back and play a little zone defense.&nbsp;"Big Play" Clay Lambert was the defensive "Dawg" of the game! The Jaguars offense was once again Led by Mason "Showtime" Bahr rushing for a TD and throwing TD passes to Gauge "Julio" Jones, and Colin "Money Man" Johnson. Owen "The Slasher" Steck rushed for a TD.&nbsp;"The Jitterbug" Casey Hanson picked off a Hawk pass and ran it 75 yards for the final Jaguar score. The SV JV Football record is 5-0 and a combined 19-3 record the past four seasons.&nbsp;Coach Murphy echoed Coach Johnson's statement from last week, " we have a bunch of Leaders and Dawgs at the JV level this year."

SV JV Football vs. Woodward-Granger

The Jaguar football team headed just 22 miles South to take on Greene County.&nbsp;This is the first time the Varsity football team has ever played them even though they are as close as any football team we could play. Greene County started off the preseason ranked in the top 10 in Class 2A.&nbsp;They returned 12 starters and 10 All District football players and many picked them to be the District favorite before the season started so we new this was going to be a big game and a lot at stake. The Jags knew they had to have something new prepared because of the coaching staff at Greene County.&nbsp;Their Head Coach was a player for Coach Swieter for 2 years&nbsp;and then coached with him for 2 years before heading on to start his own coaching career.&nbsp;Once Caden got the head coaching job at Greene County his father Jim Duncan, who was an assistant at Prairie Valley and for the Jaguars for over 10 years, headed down to coach with his son.&nbsp;1 year&nbsp;later Jeff Kruse, Caden's Father-in-Law, also headed down to Greene County to coach together&nbsp;after coaching&nbsp;most of his career at Prairie Valley and Southeast Valley, so we knew we had to have something ready.&nbsp;So over the last few months we have slowly been preparing for a package they have never seen and waited until this game to see if it worked or not and it did for almost 400 yards.&nbsp;We knew we needed to pound the ball and take time off the clock and keep their offense off the field and that is exactly what the Jags were able to do most of the night. Greene County first drive was 10 plays and the defense forced them to kick a FG and they missed. Jags offense took over and put a 17 play drive together&nbsp;with a big pass from Cale VanSickle to Brady Hanson for 25 then Brady and Cale took turns running the ball all the way down the field.&nbsp;Finally on the 17th play on 4th and Goal from the 6 Cale Vansickle had a hard nose run for the TD and the Jags were up 6-0 Jags defense forces a punt Jags put a 11 play drive together but had to punt Greene puts 9 play drive together and hit a 35 pass for the TD and take the lead 7-6 With about 2 minutes to go, the Jags were going to play smart but got a quick first down so decided to pass.&nbsp;Cale Vansickle hit Jace Hanson for a 55 yard TD and the Jags took the lead 12-7. The Kids were drained and a few took themselves out on kickoff and that came back to haunt the boys as Greene County returned the kickoff for 86 yards and the TD.&nbsp;This hurt the Jags big time.&nbsp;We felt we gave up 2 plays the entire half and were behind by 2. Coaches got after the boys at half because they were hanging their heads and told them to wake it up and let's go win this game.&nbsp;The boys got jacked up and were ready for the second half. Greene County drove the ball on a 13 play drive but Jags defense held them on 4th and 9 and got the ball back. Jags offense put together a 12 play drive.&nbsp;Cale VanSickle hit Andrew Miller and Jace Hanson for a couple quick passes but it was back to the ground with runs from Brady Hanson and Cale Vansickle.&nbsp;Cale scored from the 1 and the Jags took the lead 18-14 On the very next play Greene County had a 66 yard reception for the TD and just like that were back in the lead 21-18.&nbsp;At this point the Jags had given up 3 big plays and were in total control of the&nbsp;game but were losing. Jags tried getting things going but were forced to punt. Greene has a 12 play drive and looks like they are taking control of the game and then Ross Larson has an INT and gives life back to the Jags. They were 7 minutes left and the Jags needed to score.&nbsp;They put a 11 play, all run, drive together with runs from Brady Hanson, Cale Vansickle and Dalton Crouse came in for some big runs and also the TD to take the lead 26-21. With 2 minutes to go Greene County was on the move and then Logan Jaescke had an INT to seal the win for the Jags. This was a huge win on the season and for our program to pick up a close win like this on the road against a very&nbsp;good team.&nbsp;Coaches are very happy with the boys and they need to enjoy this for a couple days and then we will get ready for Kuemper. Besides the 3 big plays the Jags defense was outstanding with another great game plan by Mark Graves and the offense was able to put up close to 400 yards and completely controlled&nbsp;the game clock. Huge thanks to everyone who went out in the cold to cheer us on. Go Jags

Jags FB vs Saydel

The Southeast Valley football team lost a heartbreaker 20-14 to Roland Story and moved to 3-2 for the season. The Jags defense had another great night holding RS to just 26 yards rushing and only 110 passing but that was enough to score 20 because of great field position each time they scored. The Jags fell behind early 8-0 but fought hard the rest&nbsp;of the half and all the way through the 3rd quarter and the score was still 8-0.&nbsp;Then Roland Story got great field position from and error on our punt team and gave them the ball on the 19 yard line and they scored.&nbsp;Then they scored again and went up 20-0. The Jags could have gave up but Brady Hanson had a 95 yard kick return for a TD which was also a new school record and made it 20-8.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jags defense held to 3 and out and the Jags got the ball back and went right down the field and Cale Vansickle hit Andrew Miller for the TD and all of sudden it was 20-14 and the Jags had a chance. Jags got the ball back but just could not find a way back to the endzone. Coaches were very happy with how the boys never gave up and very proud of the effort on defense.&nbsp;The Jags offense has not been up to par the last 2 games and they need to get things figured out.&nbsp;The Jags had 12 penalties, turnovers, sacks, bad snaps, bad throws, bad blocking and all these mistakes are killing drives and making us punt.&nbsp;It starts with practice and these mistakes are the same ones they are having during the week.&nbsp;So they need to get this figured out so we can get back to our offense moving the ball and scoring points.&nbsp;Drive after drive has one of those mistakes and just ruins everything they just earned. The Jags will have their last home&nbsp;game next week against Saydel

Southeast Valley football teams wins Homecoming and moves to 3-0 on the season. This might go down as one of the biggest wins for the Jaguars over the years because of all the adversity that happened during&nbsp;the game but they found a way to keep fighting and pull off the victory. The Jags started with the ball and found the endzone early&nbsp;but was called back on a holding&nbsp;call.&nbsp;Two plays later the Jags fumbled and Clarion recovered. The Jags defense forced a quick punt and the Jags got the ball back but they could not find a way to move the ball either. After Clarion drove the ball for 7 plays they were forced to punt. The Jags came right out throwing for a 24 yard reception and the very next play threw an INT and they returned it to the 2 yard line&nbsp;and then scored right away and took a 7-0 lead.&nbsp;This was not the start we were looking for.&nbsp;At this point we had 3 fumbles and lost one and then the INT. Jags got it for the 4th time and still could not move the ball. Clarion started to move the ball to mid field but the defense stopped&nbsp;them again. Finally the Jags went back to old school and went into the I formation and ran the ball 10 straight times with 9 of them from Brady Hanson who then scored from 5 yards out and he also ran in the 2 point conversion and the Jags led 8- 7 going into half. This is when the boys found out some news and they had to decide who was going to step up.&nbsp;The Jags were already without one of their starting lineman for the game and got the news they had lost another for the second half and this is when kids had to step up to the plate. Opening drive Clarion was forced to punt. Then 2 plays later Brady Hanson had a 73 yard run for the TD and the Jags were ahead 14-7 Clarion bounced right back with a long 11 play drive and tied it up 14-14 The injuries got worse as the Jags offense lost 2 more starters and found themselves with the ball and tied 14-14.&nbsp;They put together a 14 play drive with 13 straight&nbsp;runs and then Dalton Crouse hit Jace Hanson for a 14 yard TD.&nbsp;This was huge and then just as big Dalton Crouse hit Andrew Miller for the 2 point conversion and the Jags led 22-14 Jags defense forced a 3 and out 3 plays later Dalton Crouse hit JAce Hanson for 81 yard TD and then led 28-14 Clarion went right down the field on a 11 play drive and made the score 28-20. The Jags recovered the onside kick and ran the clock out for the win. This was a huge win for the boys.&nbsp;They learned to come from behind tonight and learned how to win when you face adversity.&nbsp;The coaches could not be prouder of them.&nbsp;Coach wants to really let the line know they did an outstanding job playing without a couple of our key guys.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coach Swieter also wants to thank his coaches on an outstanding night of coaching.&nbsp;Coach Graves had another great defensive game plan as the defense has only allowed 3 TD's all season.&nbsp;The other 2 came from INT's.&nbsp;That is great defense planning and execution.&nbsp;Every week he has the defense ready for the challenge. Well, the Jags finish the non-district schedule 3-0 and will start district play against the best QB in class 2A next week down at Des Moines Christian.

Jags Homecoming Victory

The Southeast Valley football team moves to 2-0 on the season with a huge win over Eagle Grove 59-6.The weather was much much better than last week and the boys improved on a lot&nbsp;of the things they needed to work on. Opening SV drive Cale Vansickle hit Logan Jaeschke for 2 straight&nbsp;passes of 14 and 1 and also Ross Larson for a 19 yarder.&nbsp;Then Brady Hanson ran it in from 8 yards out. SV defense was ready to play only allowing 6 yards on the first 4 plays and got the ball right back to the offense.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cale Vansickle had a quick 21 yard run and Brady Hanson had a couple nice runs but then we had a INT. 2 plays later Nathan Graves recovered a fumble and 1 play later Brady Hanson ran in a 12 yard TD and Brady Hanson ran in the 2 point conversion.

JV Football @Clarion-Goldfield

The Southeast Valley team opened up the 2023 season with a 26-8 win over Manson Northwest Webster.&nbsp;It was a week everyone will be happy to be over with because of the extreme heat conditions all week and during the game.&nbsp;It was one of those nights no matter how good of shape the boys were in the heat and humidity&nbsp;really affected a lot of them throughout the night where many of them needed breaks to cool their bodies down and get hydrated so a lot of kids had to step up and play for us to be able to get through the night.&nbsp;&nbsp; Opening drive started off with runs from Brady Hanson and Drew Temple but SV found themselves with 4th and 6 and went for it.&nbsp;Cale Vansickle hit Ross Larson for a 24 yard reception and then Drew Temple scored from the 1 yard line to take a 6-0 lead. MNWW ran 3 plays and were forced to punt but chose to try a fake that came back to haunt them.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Jags stopped the fake and got the ball on the 21 yard line and 2 plays later Brady Hanson rushed for a 6 yard TD to take a 12 nothing lead. SV defense gave up some yards the next drive but held them short on 4th and 5. SV 2 plays later threw a pick 6 and MNWW found themselves right back into the game.&nbsp;THis is when they gained confidence and our kids lost ours and we started going down 1 by 1 with the heat. The Jags were able to put a 11 play drive together before half with some runs and pass then Cale hit Andrew Miller for a 5 yard TD and then hit Jace Hanson for the 2 point conversion to take a 20-8 lead into half. In the 3rd quarter Logan Jaeschke ran in a 8 yard TD and that was the last score as the rest of the game was a defensive battle on both sides of the ball with the heat and humidity kids were just so drained. A win is a win and we will take it.&nbsp;We have alot&nbsp;of things to improve on and get better at but we will take care of them this week.

The Jaguar football team finished&nbsp;their season with a loss to Spirit Lake 24-6.&nbsp;Spirit Lake is 8-0 and ranked #2 in the State and the Jags were able to stick with them most of the game.The coaches were very happy with the effort the boys gave all night.&nbsp;Very few expected the Jags to be able to compete with them as they have been dominating all season and putting up 40 to 50 points and averaging about 350 yards a game.&nbsp;The Jag defense held Spirit Lake to 131 total yards and kept us in the game over and over.&nbsp;The Jags gave up a blocked punt for a TD and had a bad snap on another which gave Spirit Lake great field position and were able to score.&nbsp;If we could take those 2 plays away it was a very close football game.&nbsp;As Coaches we are very happy that the boys finished strong.&nbsp;Once they knew the season was over and not making it to the playoffs the boys could have let up but they did not.&nbsp;They laid it on the line and that is all we can ask out of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; We wish this group of seniors the very best.&nbsp;They have been part of over 30 wins the last 4 years and played in the State Quarterfinals 2 years ago and won the 2021 State Championship.&nbsp;Those memories will be with them forever. 2023 football players will get right back to work.&nbsp;They will start their off season weight lifting program right away and will start working towards next season.

After the half, the tide turned in the game.&nbsp;Ogden was able to attack through the air and came up with multiple big plays leading to touchdowns to give Ogden the win: 22-12.&nbsp;The JVR squad has improved tremendously throughout this season and have improved in all three areas of the game: Offense, Defense and Special Teams.&nbsp;We will continue to improve as we prepare to head to Jefferson to play the Rams of Greene County next Thursday. GO JAGS!!!

JVR Jaguars Come Up Short Against Ogden, 12-22 Final Score

The Jaguar football team played their best game of the season and beat Pocahontas 36-0.&nbsp;This was an outstanding team effort and a big win for the boys after losing some very close games against some very good teams.&nbsp;The Jaguars have come up short a few times this season against ranked teams.&nbsp;They lost to Class 3A ranked 7th Hampton by 7, Were beating ranked 2 OABCIG at half and was also beating 7th ranked Clarion last week at half but just could not finish&nbsp;things the second half.&nbsp;That was not going to be the case in this game.&nbsp;The boys played hard from the start to the finish. The opening drive the Jags went 69 yards and most of that came from Carl Berglund with 7 carries for 59 yards.&nbsp;The line was blocking great and Carl was running hard. The Jags defense gave up 1 first down on Pocahontas first drive. Jags drove the field again but could not punch it in. Jags defense forces a 3 and out. Jags offense runs the ball 4 plays and Cale Vansickle hits Eli Johnson for a 14 yard TD.&nbsp;Carl Berglund ran in the 2 point conversion and the Jags led 14-0 Jags defense forces a 3 and out. Jags offense put together a nice long 13 play drive with runs from Carl Berglund and Drew Temple and a few short passes from Cale Vansickle to Eli Johnson&nbsp;Then on 4th down Cale&nbsp;Vansickle hit Justin Loseke for a 24 TD.&nbsp;Justin Loseke also ran in the 2 point conversion and the Jags led 22-0 at half. Jags defense forces another 3 and out but then tackles the punter and gives the Jags the ball on the 11 yard line.&nbsp;Cale Vansickle hit Justin Loseke for an 8 yard TD and Drew Temple ran in the 2 point conversion. The very next Play Pocahontas fumbled the ball and Cale Vansickle recovered.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jags 4 plays later Drew Temple ran&nbsp;it in for a 4 yard&nbsp;TD and the Jags led 36-0 and never looked back. Ross Larson had an INT the next drive and that was all she wrote for Pocahonats.&nbsp;Their night was over. This was a huge night for the defense.&nbsp;First to have a shutout is always huge.&nbsp;Second they held Pocahontas to a total of 2 first downs and a total of 40 yards.&nbsp;The big shock of the game the the Jags defense set a new Team Game record of holding a team to -26 yards rushing.&nbsp;The previous record was -5 yards.&nbsp;This was a great accomplishment for the defense and the coaches.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was great seeing the boys&nbsp;excited again getting this win.

Jags Blank Poky

The Jags football team lost to 5-1 Clarion 24-8.&nbsp;This is another game the Jags were in the game and then allowed a couple big plays and changed the game.&nbsp;The Jags had a 8-0 lead and gave up a 72 yard TD run right before half but still had a 8-7 lead.&nbsp;Then Clarion's very first play in the second half had a 69 yard TD run.&nbsp;When you give up 141 yards in two carries and give up 2 TD's in a span of 30 seconds, it was the turning point that we never could never recover from.&nbsp;Then the Jags gave up a late blocked punt and Clarion took advantage of it and took the 24-8 lead and never looked back. This is another game the boys had chances but just have not found a way to finish.&nbsp;We have a few injuries we are dealing with but we need to get healthy and get focused on Pocahontas and do everything possible to get a win.

Jags Fall to 5-1 Clarion Goldfield Dows

The offense continues to struggle finding the end zone for the third straight week.&nbsp;The boys have been able to move the ball but can't find a way to finish&nbsp;their drives.&nbsp;It just seems no matter what we call something goes wrong&nbsp;over and over again and prevents us from putting it into the end zone.&nbsp;We just have to find a way to finish.&nbsp;We need kids to step up and have that mentality&nbsp;that we are going to score and we have not seen that from them. We have to find that fire and desire and they are lacking that right now.&nbsp;The Jags had a chance to score in the first half.&nbsp;On 3rd and 5 we went to the gate and got 4 yards.&nbsp;From what ELC ran on that play we tried a run pass - option on 4th and 1 and we were not able to put it in.&nbsp;ELC played great defense and knocked the ball out of our WR's hands.&nbsp;The Jags also had another 4th&nbsp;and 2 play and were stuffed and then had one last chance to drive the field and we had a turnover and never got the ball back for one last try. Defense is playing some outstanding defense but has given up a few big plays and ELC had 2 big plays back to back and that was how they went ahead 7-0.&nbsp;We had poor&nbsp;tackling on&nbsp;1 play and a blown coverage for the score and that is all it takes 1 or 2 bad plays to change the outcome of a game and we just could not come back from it. It has been a very frustrating 3 weeks after starting the season 2-0.&nbsp;The boys have been challenged to see who is going to step up and be a leader and help us find a way to get back to winning again.&nbsp;This group needs some leadership and needs to find ways to get the very best out of themselves and light that fire that has not been there.

Jaguar Football Lost to ELC 7-0 in Another Heartbreaking Loss

The Southeast Valley football team started their District play against ranked #1 and #2 in all Polls OABCIG. OABCIG in the last 4 1/2 season have only lost a total of 4 games and 3 of those losses were to Southeast Valley and OABCIG was determined to not allow that again.The Jags gave everything they had for 2 1/2 quarters as the Jags led 8-7 with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.&nbsp;But when things went bad they went bad real fast and the score got away from the Jags and had no chance to get back into the game.The Jags had numerous plays that would have changed the game but could not capitalize on them over and over again.&nbsp;That has been the story the last two weeks.&nbsp;We put ourselves into great shape numerous times and find ways to not capitalize.The players and coaches know this needs to improve fast or it will carry over into each game each and every week.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Defensive side of the ball has been outstanding the last two games except for 4 big plays, but that is football and those 4 plays hurt us and made the difference in each game.&nbsp;We missed 4 or 5 chances for easy interceptions, plus some missed tackles and after some of those misses are the biggest plays and are a major change in momentum.&nbsp; The offense has struggled the last 2 weeks.&nbsp;We just are not finishing drives.&nbsp;We move the ball then take a sack, drop the ball, overthrow&nbsp;an open WR or just do not block well enough.&nbsp;Every combination possible to stall a drive we have found a way to do that. The Jags have had a lot&nbsp;of success the last 2 seasons and you can tell this team when things are going bad it affects them and they are letting this affect carry over until 2 or 3 plays later and hurting their&nbsp;play.&nbsp;For the boys to have a successful season they need to get over that fast and right away get focused on the next play.&nbsp;We even had some captains step up after the game and go over this as a team.&nbsp;That was needed and the coaches&nbsp;like seeing that leadership. The big play of the game was Ethan Ackerson recovered a fumble and ran it for a 65 yard TD.&nbsp;Dalton Crouse hit Eli Johnson for the 2 point conversion. The boys need to move on fast and get ready for a very good ELC team.

The Jaguars JVR football squad played a curtain raiser Friday night against the Bulldogs of Hampton-Dumont.&nbsp;The Jaguars fell into a 20-0 hole early due to some big plays by the Bulldogs.&nbsp;Despite the early hole, the Jaguars Defense tightened allowing only 7 points in the second half.&nbsp;The Jaguar offense was driven by the hard running of FB Owen Steck, who accounted for the Jaguar's lone touchdown.&nbsp;Overall, improvement was shown by the JVR squad and we will look to continue to develop our skills and build on the little things that are needed as we look forward to our Next Opponent.&nbsp;The JVR Jaguar Squad will be back in action on October 6th, at home against the Bulldogs of Ogden!

Jaguars fall 27-6 against Hampton-Dumont

The Southeast Valley football team lost to Hampton Dumont Cal 13-6.&nbsp;Hampton was in the playoffs last year and is currently ranked 7th in Class 3A. This was a hard fought game the whole night.&nbsp;The Jags defense was solid the first half holding Hampton out of the end zone numerous times but Hapton had a very good kicker and they made a 43 and 38 yard field goal to take a 6-0 lead in the first half.&nbsp;It is very hard to find a good kicker in high school and that was a big part of their game and it really made the difference. The Jags Defense only had 1 bad play and it was the very first play of the second half as they allowed a 76 yard pass for the TD and took the lead 13-0.&nbsp;After that play the defense played very well. The Jags offense was not the same as they have been this season and over the last couple years.&nbsp;They just could not get anything going and then once they fell behind they had to go to the pass.&nbsp;The Jags did march down the field with great catches from Justin Loseke to help set up a Brady Hanson TD run.&nbsp;But turnovers and sacks prevented the Jags from getting any more chances to tie things up.&nbsp;Hampton just brought 7 to 8 guys and we struggled to get the ball off. We have built this program to win and this was a hard loss for the team.&nbsp;When you have had the success they have had, it hurts even more.&nbsp;The good thing is the team that beat them is in a bigger class and ranked but the Jags were still able to compete the entire game and that is what matters and hopefully fuels the fire for the rest of the season. It does not get any easier next week as the Jags will be playing OABCIG who is ranked #1 in class 2A.&nbsp;OABCIG has only lost 4 games over the last 4 seasons and have won 2 state&nbsp;championships.&nbsp;The good thing is our kids know how to beat them as 3 of those 4 losses are to us.&nbsp;So we know they will be out to get us.&nbsp;So we need to have a great week of practice.

Jags Lose First Game of the Season 

The JVR football squad was back in action on September 1st against the Norsemen of Roland Story.&nbsp;The Jaguars fell behind early but were able to put things together in the second half.&nbsp;Their second half efforts were fueled by the running of Owen Steck and Carter Ferry along with great support in the backfield by Logan Bintz.&nbsp;In the second half of this ball game, the Jaguar defense really clamped down, not allowing another offensive touchdown but Roland Story was able to extend their lead through Special Teams. Overall, the JVR squad is continuing to grow and develop and we look forward to their next opportunity to showcase their abilities this Friday in a JV/JVR curtain raiser against Hampton-Dumont. Final Score: Roland Story 48&nbsp;SV 26

 JVR Jaguars battle back against Roland-Story

The Football team moves to 2-0 on the season after defeating Emmetsburg 28-14.&nbsp;The Jags had to overcome some obstacles during the game and the heat was one of the main things both teams had to deal with throughout the night.&nbsp;Kids were cramping and just plain worn out throughout this game and this tested us mentally and physically but the boys never let up and kept on fighting. Both teams struggled to get things going early&nbsp;as both teams did not get a first down in their first two possessions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then on our 3rd possession&nbsp;Dalton Crouse hit Eli Johnson for a 64 yard TD reception.&nbsp;This was great to see because week 1 we did not pass much so Eli was due for some receptions. Things went back and forth but Emmtsburg had a 54 yard reception that set up a TD and they kicked the extra point and took the lead 7-6. The Jags went right back to work and were moving the ball through the air to many different receivers and also Dalton Crouse had 3 good runs of 14-7-5 but then the Jags threw a INT. The Jags defense stood their own and got the ball back.&nbsp;Once again the Jags moved the ball with throws of 4-37 and 17 but once again the Jags threw an INT and the Jags were behind 6-7 at half. The Jags could not start any worse than they did the second half.&nbsp;The very first play the Jags fumbled and Emmetsburg picked it up and ran it in for the score and were ahead 6-14. The Jags fight back with a nice drive but can't finish and give the ball back.&nbsp;Very first play Emmetsburg fumbled it back and the Jags took advantage of it. Cale Vansickle came into QB on on his first play threw&nbsp;a TD to Eli Johnson from 22 yards out then also hit Eli Johnson for the 2 point conversion and tied the game up 14-14 3 plays later Ross LArson got a INT and the very first play the line really stepped up and Carl Berglund ran it in from 54 yards out.&nbsp;Cale once again hit Eli Johnson for the 2 point conversion and the Jags had a 22-14 advantage. Jgas defense started taking over the game and got the ball back to the offense.&nbsp;Brady Hanson had some great hard runs of 2-9-3-4 to keep the clock going and Cale hit Eli Johnson 2 more times for gains of 24 &amp; 13 and the Cale&nbsp;Vansickle&nbsp;hit Eli&nbsp;for his 3rd TD from 4 yards out to take the 28-14 lead and never look back. This was a great win and the boys overcame a lot during this game.&nbsp;To deal with the heat.&nbsp;To be losing in the 3rd quarter and fight back.&nbsp;Then to overcome 4 turnovers and win the game is something that does not normally happen so to overcome all of that and win we will take it and enjoy it. The Jags need to get healed up and take care of a lot of things before a very good Hampton Dumont team next week who is 2-0 and is in class 3A.&nbsp;The Jags can't have 4 turnovers and they also had 8 penalties for 75 yards.&nbsp;Those will cause&nbsp;&nbsp;us to lose if we do not take better care of things&nbsp;than that. Coach Swieter was very happy with Coach Graves' defensive plan for this week as the Jags defense held I 35 to 150 total yards and Emmetsburg to 215 and that was giving them 4 extra chances on offense with our turnovers.&nbsp;Coach is also very happy with the boys for not letting up. The Jags are 24-2 over the last 26 games and the winner of their last 7.&nbsp;The Jags look to continue this success next week against Hampton. The Jags will have a curtain&nbsp;raiser game next Friday at Hampton at 5:00 and the varsity game will be at 7:30

Jags Football Earns Second Victory of the Season

The Jaguar football team started the same way they ended last season with a win over Interstate 35 20-7.&nbsp;The Jaguars have won 6 straight games and have won 23 out of their last 25 games.&nbsp;There was not a better way to start the season after losing 9 starters on both sides of the ball to come out and continue with the success this program has displayed over the last few years.&nbsp;There were a lot of unanswered questions going into this contest and the coaches and fans were able to get a lot of them answered. I 35 takes the opening drive and gets about 12 yards before they had to punt. Jags take their opening drive 53 yards to open the season with a TD.&nbsp;This drive was Carl Berglund running the ball and Eli Johnson catching 2 passes from Dalton Crouse.&nbsp;Carl had a great run and was able to score on a 5 yard run and took the lead 6-0.&nbsp;The line did a great job blocking and everyone did their part on this drive. I 35 came right back with a nice 15 play drive and got down to the 7 yard&nbsp;line but the Jags defense stood strong and held them to a missed FG. The Jags then put a 16 play 80 yard drive together and controlled&nbsp;the clock for over half of the 2nd quarter.&nbsp;This is the quarter Brady Hanson showed his skills with runs of 3-2-5-2-6-14-4 and finished&nbsp;with a 2 yard TD.&nbsp;The line of scrimmage won the trenches during this drive and then Carl Berglund ran in the 2 point conversion and the JAgs were ahead 14-0. Both teams got the ball one more time before half but neither could take advantage of it. The Jags start the second half with 11 play drive and Brady Hanson ran it in from the 4 to take the lead 20-0 I 35 never let up and put a solid drive together and scored to make&nbsp;the score 20-7 and the beginning&nbsp;of the 4th.&nbsp;The 4th quarter was a battle of the defenses as was the entire game. as the Jags finished&nbsp;with 162 total yards to I 35 152 total yards. Coach feels the line had a great night and the RB's took advantage of it as much as they could.&nbsp;He also feels first time QB starter Dalton Crouse did a great job running things out there and played a very good game to start the season.&nbsp;Coaches also were happy how the defense played some very good football also. The Jags have to get right back to work and get a few things adjusted as things do not get easier as they take on Emmetsburg next week at home.
