JC JV football tops Delta

Four turnovers aided the Jay County junior varsity football team to an opening-game win over the Delta Eagles Monday, 12-0.

The Patriots kept Delta off the board early by causing three first-half turnovers. Fumble recoveries by Trent Bash and Justin Gilbert, and an interception from Keith Schubert kept the game scoreless at halftime.

Gilbert removed the zeroes with a 65-yard punt return for a score in the third quarter for a 6-0 Jay County lead. Chris Elmore kept the Eagles’ offense silent with an interception in the fourth quarter, and Devon Huftel capped the scoring with a 3-yard run.

The defense for the Patriots held Delta to just over 100 yards of total offense in the contest.
