JAMESTOWN, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – The #2 Jamestown High School football team got right back in the win column on Friday night at Hansen Stadium as the Blue Jays rolled to a 33-8 victory over Dickinson.

Jamestown scored on its first offensive drive of the game when Payton Hochhalter connected with Preston Gall on a 54-yard pass play for a 7-0 lead. The Midgets answered immediately, scoring on their first drive and converting a two-point conversion to go ahead 8-7. That would be the last time Dickinson led in the game.

In the second half, Jamestown’s defense shined as they created two turnovers, and had three sacks to shut out the Midgets in the final three quarters of play. Hochhalter finished the day 18-37 for 306 yards and four touchdowns through the air. The senior also had a rushing touchdown and accounted for all five Blue Jays scores on the night.
