LAST WEEK: 0-0, .000
SEASON TOTAL: 0-0, .000

A year ago, a Jim Ned club that had been ravaged by injuries during its two scrimmages, met eventual 2A DI state champion Hawley in our first Game of the Week of the season.

By night’s end, the Bearcats had posted a 30-7 win — their first of 16 consecutive wins on the road to the championship.

This year, Jim Ned is healthy, deeper and more experienced than a year ago and has the benefit of the home field advantage. We therefore, will stick with this matchup for a second straight season as our Game of the Week.
