THE HERALD SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2015 Blessinger also kicked in a pair of scores, arriving on Jasper’s final drive of the third quarter and first possession of the final stanza. All told, Jasper amassed 233 yards on the ground after halftime. The Ti- gers mustered 5. “You can see it in their eyes,” Blessinger said of the Tigers, who played defense for more than 20 minutes in the second half. “They’re getting beat and you just love it because you know you’re feeling good, they’re not. Especially against a rival team that we don’t really like, it’s good to do that, es- pecially when they’ve got their mouths running in the first half.” What Ahrens sees in his team is an assemblage of “good skill guys that need to realize they have a lot of good ability but they have to work at it,” he said. “They’ll get there, we just need to keep work- ing with them and keep coaching. But I’ll tell you what ... what they did tonight, they got after it.” The sentiments extended across the board: to the defense, where linebacker Ben Wendholt (4 1 2 tack- les) and linemen Carson Englert (four tackles) and Ben Schuetter helped patrol the line of scrim- mage; and to the offensive line, where senior center Brett Hopf wit- nessed huge strides from newcom- ers Jack Heichelbech and Brandon Jochim, a pair of juniors who “re- ally stepped it up today,” Hopf said. With the score squared at 14 with just a few minutes left in the third quarter and Jasper con- fronted with a fourth-and-1 situ- ation, Blessinger toted a handoff, stutter-stepped and veered toward the right side. There stood Jo- chim, who plowed forward to cre- ate space for Blessinger: 10-yard gain, first down. The next play, Blessinger bulldozed a 165-pound Memorial defensive back amid an 11-yard gain. One snap later, the 5-foot-11 running back bolted into the end zone from 9 yards away, and Jasper led for good. While one may assume ex- pectations to be tempered for a Wildcat team still molding after the graduation of record-setting quarterback Nolan Ahrens and a collection of other graduated tal- ents, the focus of the spyglass still peers at a similar sight, Blessinger assured. “We don’t look at our losses, we look at what we’re getting back and what we’re gaining. We’re not looking at last year’s loss to Reitz (in the sectional championship), we’re looking at this year’s regu- lar season and then the postsea- son, and we’re going to do every- thing we can to win and hopefully advance,” Blessinger said with a home date against Southridge (1-0) looming next Friday. “The goal’s been set since the beginning of the summer. That’s the team goal and everybody’s buying in.” How to get there? Hopf has an idea. “We just have to play the rest of the season like we did that second half.” PAGE 22 SPORTS Local schedule All Times EDT TODAY, AUG. 22 Prep Volleyball Southridge at Evansville Reitz

Blessinger also kicked in a pair of scores, arriving on Jasper’s final drive of the third quarter and first possession of the final stanza. All told, Jasper amassed 233 yards on the ground after halftime. The Ti-gers mustered 5.

“You can see it in their eyes,” Blessinger said of the Tigers, who played defense for more than 20 minutes in the second half. “They’re getting beat and you just love it because you know you’re feeling good, they’re not. Especially against a rival team that we don’t really like, it’s good to do that, es-pecially when they’ve got their mouths running in the first half.”

What Ahrens sees in his team is an assemblage of “good skill guys that need to realize they have a lot of good ability but they have to work at it,” he said. “They’ll get there, we just need to keep work-

ing with them and keep coaching. But I’ll tell you what ... what they did tonight, they got after it.”

The sentiments extended across the board: to the defense, where linebacker Ben Wendholt (41⁄2 tack-les) and linemen Carson Englert (four tackles) and Ben Schuetter helped patrol the line of scrim-mage; and to the offensive line, where senior center Brett Hopf wit-nessed huge strides from newcom-ers Jack Heichelbech and Brandon Jochim, a pair of juniors who “re-ally stepped it up today,” Hopf said.

DAVE WEATHERWAX/THE HERALD

Jasper running back Tate Blessinger churned for extra yards before being brought down by Evansville Memorial tacklers during Friday night’s game. Blessinger ran for 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Cats(Concluded from Page 18)

Raidersexited briefly with cramps, Kopp ran into the reserve quarterback on a handoff, ran backwards as he shed numerous Raider tacklers, scampered to his left and busted one more tackle as he crossed the end zone. Kopp finished with 112 yards on 19 carries.

The Raiders’ magnum opus, though — the game’s final drive that covered 77 yards all on the ground — had Buening literally whooping after the game. After a short Panther possession, South-ridge took control with 9:36 re-maining and didn’t give the ball back. Mundy carried the ball 11 times for 46 yards on the final drive, including a 3-yard run on fourth-and-a-foot at the Panther 47-yard line. Buening was quick to mention the solid performanc-es from Schank and Brown, but “when you have a guy like Mundy in the backfield, though, he’s cer-tainly our comfort zone,” Buening said. “He was blocking his tail off and when we were giving him the ball, he was finishing runs.

“That’s what leaders do.”“That’s all them really,” Mun-

dy said about the offensive line. “It’s not too hard to run a football behind holes that big.”

The final numbers didn’t create much separation — Southridge had 378 total yards to Corydon’s 370 — and a barrage of penalties (13 total) made the season opener anything but pretty. Those blem-

ishes will likely need to be fixed if Southridge wants to snap a six-year losing streak to Class 4A No. 5 Jasper (1-0) next Friday at Jerry Brewer Alumni Stadium.

Until then, Buening is evaluat-

ing his team on different terms.“The mental toughness and

the heart that it takes, that’s what these guys really demonstrated to-night,” Buening said. “That was a really gutsy performance.”
