CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MENASHA BLUEJAYS DEFEATING THE (POWERHOUSE)APPLETON NORTH LIGHTNING.  8 TO 3.  THERE WERE 3 OPPONENTS ON THE FIELD MENASHA, APPLETON AND THE WIND.  MENASHA’S DEFENSE  SCORED A SAFETY IN THE SECOND QUARTER TO GO UP 2 -ZIP .  APPLETON NORTH SCORED AN ALMOST 50 YD FIELD GOAL IN THE THIRD QUARTER WITH HELP FROM THE THIRD OPPONENT (THE WIND) TO GO UP 2-3.  THEN MENASHA RAN THE BALL IN SCORING A TOUCHDOWN IN THE 4TH QUARTER TO GO UP 8-3 THEY WENT FOR THE 2POINT CONVERSION WITH ONLY 10 GUYS ON THE FIELD AND MISSED…THEN THE DEFENSE HELD A.N. IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL VICTORY FOR ALL PLAYERS AND COACHES.  MENASHA HAS NOT BEATEN A.N. IN OVER 7 YEARS.  I THINK THE KIDS FINALLY BELIEVE WHAT HAS BEEN DRILLED IN TO THEM…WORK HARD AND EXPECT TO WIN.  LUKE  (MY SON) HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THEM IN THE WEIGHT ROOM EVERY DAY FOR OVER A YEAR…GOOD JOB BOYS!
