Week 3: Jasper 35, Reitz 14 (PantherPlus)
We’re two weeks into the season, two more than many thought we’d be at. Every week the teams get to play is a blessing and hopefully we’ll have many more to go.
Coach Cory Brunson and Jasper coach Tony Lewis know each other very well. Brunson played under Lewis from 1993-96 then was an assistant coach for him from 2008-12. Last year while Brunson coached Mount Vernon, Lewis lead Jasper to a 29-14 win to secure the final Big Eight Conference championship. Now, they’ll face off for the first ever regular season meeting between Jasper and the Panthers.
