 It's a moment they've been talking about since freshman year. That's what the seniors on the Lumberjacks football team will tell you. And that moment is finally here as the team prepares for the state semifinal at US Bank Stadium. The Jacks are coming off their strongest game of the season, a 51-15 drubbing of Cambridge, I-Santi in the quarterfinals, where the team says they played a full four quarters for the first time this season. Coming up that first drive our defense came out we smacked them and right in the mouth and they had no response for it and we really wanted to get that good four quarters going so that's what we did. We put it together finally. Up next is undefeated St. Thomas, a team without many weaknesses and a talented rushing attack led by Brenda McFadden who was averaging 160 yards per game this postseason. We've got our hands full. They're very well coached and they're a very good football team. I don't see any flaws in their team. They play really fast but I still feel like we have a chance just because we play the same exact way they do so it's going to be a really equal game. It's going to be a lot of fun. Big games like this don't come around every year and the school and community have both shown a lot of support for their lumberjacks. Everyone's excited. It's kind of hard to go somewhere without someone wishing you good luck so it's really nice to have the community support around us. Just getting like high fives from complete strangers in the hallway and teachers give me high fives now and I never had their class before. It's just it's really neat. Should be a great match up lumberjacks looking to get back to the prep bowl for the second time ever. First time was in 2011.
