GACC records another undefeated regular season and wins District Title with win over Pender

The GACC Football Team capped off an undefeated regular season and another District Championship with a 64-50 win at Pender Thursday night.

The Bluejays led 24-14 at the end of one, and outscored the Pendragons 20-6 in the 2nd quarter to take a 44-20 lead into the locker room.

Pender won the 3rd quarter 16-14 to make it a 58-36 game at the end of three.

The Pendragons outscored GACC 14-6 in the 4th quarter.

Jared Minnick had 339 yards rushing on 40 carries, and scored 8 touchdowns....holy moly!!!!!

Derek Petz added 116 yards rushing on 18 carries, and scored once.

Jacob Yosten made 8 tackles.

The Bluejays rolled up 490 yards of total offense, including 466 rushing, while giving up 292 yards of total offense, including 166 on the ground. 

I'm sure GACC would have liked to have been more dominant than they were, but the Blujeays can't complain about an undefeated regular season and a District Championship.

GACC (8-0) hosts Pender (3-5) in a rematch in the 1st round of the playoffs in Beemer Thursday night.

I would say Minnick and Petz need to go off again for the Bluejays, and GACC has to try and slow down and focus on Brady Oliver.

The Bluejays were outplayed in the second half against the Pendragons I would say, and cannot let that happen again.

GACC has to come out determined, focused, and flat out upset given the fact they gave up 50 points to Pender.

Credit the Pendragons for continuing to fight and never giving up, but Pender had not been playing good football leading up to this game.

The Bluejays are better than what they showed Thursday night, in my opinion, and could potentially show that this Thursday night.

I wouldn't be surprised if GACC blows the Pendragons out, but the Bluejays have to come out and be in playoff mode.

GACC has to come out and dominate from start to finish like they are capable of.

The Bluejays have to notch things up a few gears, and play like I know they can.

I feel GACC is better than to give up 50 points to Pender, and quite honestly the Bluejays should be motivated and upset given the fact they allowed that many points to the Pendragons.

Pender finally played up to their potential offensively I would say though so now is the time for GACC to answer and reach their potential defensively.

The Bluejays have a very tough road back to Lincoln, but all GACC can do is take things one game at a time, and go out there and dominate against the Pendragons.

The Bluejays have to get jacked, psyched, pumped, and fired up for Thursday night's game.

It's playoff football in Northeast Nebraska, and this is usually GACC's time of year.

It's time to go out there and show why you are one of the best teams in the State if you are the Bluejays.

GACC has to go out there and take care of business, and send a message to the rest of the playoff field that they are a force to be reckoned with, and will be tough for anyone to beat.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on 107.9 the Bull with pregame at 6:40. The game can also be heard online at www.kticradio.com and with the free KTIC Radio App.
