Jonsson Posts Huge Game in 37-22 Defeat
While Mascoutah might've come up empty on Friday, Baruk Jonsson wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Jonsson was still balling out as he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 184 yards and a touchdown.
Jonsson and Mascoutah will challenge Jersey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians had to take a loss when they last met the Panthers, but Jonsson had little to do with the loss: he threw for 220 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
