Northfield senior Cole Jirik acknowledged Friday after the Raiders' 31-12 victory over previously unbeaten Orono in the Class 4A state semifinals at the Metrodome that he had just played the best game of his career. The best news of all for Jirik was that he is going to be able to remember it.

By game's end, Jirik had three sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, a blocked field goal, a touchdown catch and 69 receiving yards.

Jirik (6-5, 225 with a 4.6-second 40) has scholarship offers from Western Michigan and North Dakota State. One has to wonder why some bigger schools haven't come calling. Perhaps that will change after Friday.

Sullivan has heard through the grapevine that recruiters have labeled him as being "a little light."

Jirik said he hopes to hear from some other schools. Sullivan knows this: Jirik is a football player.

"He's going to help somebody's program," Sullivan said.

He would be a great player for the Bison. 225.....that is what the weight room is for!
