My day started with OAS and son of ROR rolling into my hotel room at 2AM smelling like they had just worked second shift at a cigarette factory. An early visit to The Jaarsma Bakery and a couple of Dutch Letters later and it was looking to be a great day in Pella.

Chase Pollack hauls in a TD…that wasn’t.
Inspiration in the form of Jimmy “Swagger” and his wide open offensive attack made a long awaited return to Clemens Stadium Saturday afternoon.  Just when it appeared offensive coordinator Jimmy Gagliardi was contemplating a return to the Power I, the J’s rolled out their more familiar forward passing attack […]

I don’t think there is a Johnnie football fan on the planet who was happy with the result of the MIAC conference championship game on Saturday in Arden Hills.  Both defenses played extremely well and Bethel was able to make the plays necessary to grab the lead with 24 seconds remaining.  The Royals have clearly […]
