The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Bluejays blew out Omaha Christian Academy 68-14 on the road Friday night.
Tanner Hass led GACC in rushing with 168 yards on 14 carries, including four touchdowns. Eric Klitz carried the ball 6 times for 73 yards and scored twice while Mitchell Hass toted the rock 5 times for 70 yards, and scored once. Nolan Plagge had 54 yards on 5 carries, and scored once.
Plagge went 2-2 passing for 51 yards. Klitz had 2 catches for 41 yards, including a 38-yarder.
Tanner Ortmeier made a game-high 8 tackles.
The Bluejays totaled 474 yards of total offense, including 406 on the ground. The defense gave up just 83 yards.
Guardian Angels Central Catholic showed up and took care of business against the Eagles. It appears the Bluejays were focused and ready to play as they should have been.
GACC (2-0) hosts Howells-Dodge (2-0) Friday night.
The Jaguars downed Bloomfield 30-8 on the road Saturday.
This is an epic rivalry between two heavyweights. The Bluejays are a very good team, but Howells-Dodge is good as well.
GACC is going to have to play their best game of the year to pull out the win.
One has to figure the Jaguars will come ready to play. The Bluejays had better be ready to battle because there's no doubt GACC will get Howells-Dodge's best shot.
The Jaguars will no doubt be hungry for a win, which is why the Bluejays must be hungry for a win as well.
These are the type of games GACC has to win if they want to win a state championship. The Bluejays haven't faced anyone of Howells-Dodge's caliber so far this season so this will be a good test for GACC.
We will find out a lot about this team Friday night, and see where exactly they stand in the early season.
I think the Bluejays have a good chance of winning, but GACC has to play their game and execute.
The Bluejays have to slow down Tyler Polacek and Jordon Brichacek. Those two do a lot for the Jaguars in the running game.
GACC has to contain the passing game as well. Luke Renter and Zach Bayer are threats for Howells-Dodge, and the Bluejays have to do what they can to limit their production.
The Jaguars are a balanced team while GACC is more of a run heavy team. The Bluejays have to establish the ground game, and keep everything in front of them defensively. If GACC can force the Jaguars to drive the length of the field they will be in good shape. But if Howells-Dodge explodes for big plays it could be tough for the Bluejays to pull out the win.
