MELBOURNE, Ar — Late in the fourth quarter Melbourne cut Clinton’s lead to 8, but that would prove to be as close as they would get after their failed onside attempt. Bowman then broke a 30 yard touchdown to all but seal the game.

The Jackets started off slow, making it to the redzone 3 times with no score in the first half, but were able to make a turn around and finish drives in the second half. The Jackets were on top of the Bearkatz 28-6 before the Bearkatz rallied with a touchdown and an onside kick. The Bearkatz gave the Jackets their best game as every team will be this year. The Jackets have a lot to play for and the opposing teams know it.
