University of Jamestown to the Great Plains Athletic Conference

[ByeSonBusiness]

Heartbreaker for the Jimmie men’s hockey team. Up 3-2 with time running out only to have Ohio score with .1 second left to tie it up and then lose in overtime. That close to the semi finals. Ouch

Tough L to take

This isn’t about UJ but Nebraska. Jamestown’s own Darin Erstad had his baseball number retired over the weekend in Lincoln. Very well deserved. Had the privilege of coaching him in bantams and by far the most intense kid I’ve coached in my 39 years of coaching hockey. Obviously it paid off

The Wyoming program is a complete dumpster fire right now. I'm surprised he didn't go somewhere where he had a chance to play and win.
