Jasper had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They came up short against the Osceola Indians on Friday, falling 43-18. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it ten in a row.
Jasper's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Colt Clements, who rushed for 125 yards and one score. Clements also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles. Jasper also got a significant boost from Carson Lehman, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 101 yards.
Even if they lost, Jasper's defensive line still kept up the pressure with five sacks. Kolby Duncan was especially locked on to Osceola's QB and sacked him twice.
Osceola had a senior duo take command as Will Murray rushed for 73 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Beau Hoeme rushed for 72 yards and one TD.

Meanwhile, Osceola will face off against rival New Heights Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. This will be the Indians' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
