G3G donates to
Gowrie Fire Station
The G3G (Gowrie Growth Group) is giving a
$2,500.00 donation to the Gowrie Fire Dept. Building
Fund. The new Gowrie Fire Department building has
been constructed. Many people and organizations contributed to the $500,000 project. The exterior has been
completed. Interior construction is still being. completed.
New electric power poles were installed recently by Midland Power along Highway 175 between Gowrie
and Harcourt. The work was subcontracted by Legacy Power Line, Inc. and is part of a mult-year, $40 million
improvement project.

Group) Treasurer, left, presents a donation of $2500
to the Gowrie Fire Dept. Chief Greg Benson, right,
for the new building fund.
Gowrie United Methodist Church is pledging to
donate 750 books and 750 hours to literacy in the next
year.
How are they going to do that? In what ways can
you help them achieve this goal? There are several ways.
You may pledge to read to children or be read
to. They will collect current and gently used books. The
church will also collect money to order new books.
Ideas like this are a simple way that you can
commit to the literacy problem in Iowa and support this
mission project of the Iowa United Methodist Church.
For more information, visit www.iaumc.org/
povertytoopportunity or contact the GUMC Missions
Committee.
Books are being collected in the lobby of Gowrie
United Methodist Church and can be dropped off anytime
the church is open.

The conversation, wisdom and advice was
flowing very good on Thursday morning last week among
the coffee group at Marvs Market Street Grill & Bar.
The conversation definitely took some twists
and turns.
One gentleman announced that there are officially 10 people who live in Palm Grove, along with
eight dogs.
But one of the best roads in the county goes
right through Palm Grove, he said.
The Palm Grove elevator was lost several years
ago during a wind storm.
There was a lot of chatter about the new restaurant being leased to two women from Omaha. They
are leasing the restaurant in the Gowrie municipal golf
course country club and that lease started Oct. 1.
However, the two ladies dont have their licenses and permits quite yet.
But these two women operate at least two other
restaurants in Nebraska and do quite well. And one of
these restaurants is in a little town about 100 miles south
of Omaha.
Well, the guys said they liked several things
about the Gowrie News. But (there is always a but) the
label covered an important photo this past week on the
front page. (I will check into that).
I sat next to Bud Johanson who said he was a
little ill recently and missed participating in two horseshoe tournaments, including one in Boone. Bud finished
high in several horseshoe tournaments this year including
horseshoe competition at the Iowa State Fair.
Bud said he has tracked his rain gauge at his
Gowrie home this year. Bud and his wife returned to
Gowrie (from Texas) on March 10 and through Sept. 30
he has had 35 inches of rain in his rain gauge.
The coffee shop gang mentioned that Lanyon
got about two inches of rain last week when many of us
in Gowrie and Dayton got a tenth of an inch or so.
Darrel Mischke, Gowrie, is completing a
milestone this football season.
Darrel, at the last home game of the season on
Friday, Oct. 9, will have completed his 40th consecutive
year on the chain gang.
This is the team that marks first downs and the
advance of the football.
Darrel started volunteering on the chain gang
when the school was Prairie of Gowrie and Don Lewis
was the coach. He worked with Merc Culver of Callender and Greg Norene of Gowrie.
Ive been doing this a long time and Ive
worked with so many people over the years, he said.
But on Friday, Oct. 9, it will be my last time
working on this, he said. I hope someone else will
come forward and help out our community and school.
Give Darrel a call if you are interested. This is
really an incredible milestone for Darrel. He really did
make a valuable contribution to our school and city of
Gowrie.

Roger Brown, 55, found dead Wednesday morning (Sept. 30) in his Dayton trailer, was helped by many
people in the Dayton community.
Dozens of people in and around Dayton hired
Roger for handyman work.Roger was reliable and he did
good work.
There were also several people who gave him
housing over the years during cold, winter months. This
really helped Roger since his trailer was old and insufficient in cold weather.
For a few years Marv Pratt had Roger stay in his
Dayton home during the winter. Marv died many years
ago but he really helped Roger in the winter.
In recent years Roger helped Dee Richardson,
Dayton, and Roger was able to stay in his home. Roger
assisted Mr. Richardson extensively, and then Roger was
no longer needed when his wife returned.
In the early years, about 13 years ago, Roger assisted Robert Haub in his rural Dayton residence.
Eventually Robert movedaway, moving to the
Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown.
Jim and Cheryl Ainslie often helped Roger with
his laundry. Many people in our community performed
small acts of kindness.
We liked Roger. He was a good person. He
tried to be self-sufficient in his own way.
He helped us, we helped him and we all felt
Roger Brown was hired as a handyman by doz-h
ens of people in and around Dayton.
N
Chuck Danielson, Dayton, was one person who
hired Roger for several things. Roger did good work.p
He was reliable. Sometimes Roger had a different ideae
about what should be done, but he did listen and he fol-
lowed directions.
a
Chuck added, I like Roger. He was a good as-m
set in our community.
Well known in Dayton
i
Roger was well known in Dayton and the sur-
rounding community.
t
There were many people in the Dayton areaM
community who helped Roger in various ways over the
years. Many people knew Roger and cared about him. 2
We helped Roger and Roger also helped all of
us. He was a good friend.
b
It is difficult to fathom if Roger was indeed mur-
dered. The DCI is investigating and on Friday they did#
rule that Rogers death was a homicide.
Roger was part of our lives. We liked him andp
he liked us. More than 25 years ago Roger decided to live1
in Dayton. He didnt have any family in our area but over
the years he did make many friends.
(
We will miss Roger very much.

National 4-H Week is October 4-10.
Please join me in celebrating what 4-H is all
about. 4-Hers recite the 4-H Pledge at every meeting and
event.
What does the 4-H Pledge mean? this is what it
means to me:
I pledge (to promise) my Head (the part of my
body that makes decisions) to Clearer Thinking ( to be
able to make the right decision), My Heart (the hardest working muscle in my body) to Greater (more than
anything) Loyalty (to be faithful, true, commitment, allegiance), My Hands (the part of me that helps others) to
Larger (greater than average) Service (assistance that is
done for others without compensation), and My Health
(overall condition of mybody) to Better (improvement)
Living (the manner in which one conducts life) For My
Club (my local community organization), My Community (area in which I live), My Country (the United States
of America) and My World (the planet Earth).
This is not only something that 4-Hers recite
but it is the way we try to live our lives.
We learn about making good, positive decisions
at club meetings, while showing livestock at fairs and in
our projects we work on
throughout the year.
We learn that if we make a commitment to someone we should follow through and do it. We are involved
in community service by picking up the neighborhood
parks, planting flowers, volunteering at animal shelters,
preparing meals for the homeless, painting a house and
helping with the numerous festivals and celebrations.
Finally, we learn to be good to our bodies and
minds through being active, eating healthy and teaching
others.
4-H has been a positive experience for me. I
have learned leadership, citizenship, to be on time, public
speaking and many different project areas such as aerospace, poultry, dog, woodworking, food & nutrition and
much more.
I want to invite any 4th - 12th grader to come see
what their local 4-H club is all about.
Sincerely,
Matt Ross, 10th Grade

East Sac County
By Tyler Anderson

last weeks Southeast Valley JVR volleyball action.

stretch. Photo by Lisa Peterson.
The Southeast Valley JVR Volleyball team has
run into a tough stretch of competition lately.
On Sept. l7, the Jaguars hosted South Central
Calhoun and lost two tough fought sets in the best of 3
match by scores of 25-21 and 25-21.
The Jaguars just couldnt get the ball to bounce
their way to get the boost they needed to finish the match
off with a win. The Jaguars played well as a team and
fought hard to the end coming up just short.
The game was a different story in a triangular in
Gowrie against Newell-Fonda and Manson on Sept. 24.
The Jaguars looked sluggish against the Mustangs and couldnt get anything going.
Movement and passing proved to be a problem
for the Jags in the match and couldnt pull things together
for the win, losing by scores of 25-13 and 25-4.
The Jaguars found a way to bounce back and
play better in the second match of the night against Manson-Northwest Webster.
The Jags showed a lot of grit with some amazing
saves and volleys in the match. Unfortunately, many of
the great volleys didnt result in Jaguar points.
The Jags really hustled and moved well in the
game, but just couldnt get the timely points they needed
for the victory. The Jaguars lost to Manson-Northwest
Webster by scores of 25-17 and 25-9.
On Sept. 28, the Jaguars traveled to Lake City
for a triangular against Carroll Kuemper and South Central Calhoun. The power of Kuemper proved to be too
The Southeast Valley volleyball team continued
to skid this week, as the Jaguars fell 3-1 to Ogden on
Monday, Sept. 28 and to East Sac County on Thursday,
Oct. 1.
In a rematch of Set. 12s match in Webster City,
Ogden (5-17) won the initial set 25-20, before the Jaguars rallied back to take the second set 25-20.
However, the Bulldogs turned the game around
in their favor, winning the next two sets by scores of 2516 and 25-21 to earn the victory.
On Thursday, the Jaguars paid a visit to Lake
View to face 13th ranked East Sac County. The Raiders
(23-7) kept their eight game winning streak alive against
the Jaguars, winning the game by the score of 3-0.
The first two sets saw Southeast Valley fall by
the scores of 25-16 and 25-16. The Jaguars made it interesting in the third set, before falling 25-20.
The two losses to the Bulldogs and Raiders continue the losing skid to six games for the Jaguars, who are
currently 6-16.
The Jaguars will have a shot at ending the season on a high note, hosting Belmond-Klemme (9-9) on
Tuesday, Oct. 6 in Burnside. Game time is slated for 5:30
p.m.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
the Southeast Valley volleyball team invited its fans
share in a Pink Out against the Broncos.
Southeast Valley then conclude their season by
traveling on Thursday, Oct. 8 to West Bend to play West
Bend-Mallard (2-21).

If autumn comes...
From what I read, see and hear, fall harvesting
was well under way by the end of September with predicted completions for many soon after. Because of the
progression of time and new learnings in the botanical/
horticultural and mechanical sciences, many farmers can
plant more acres, get more yields per acre and have their
harvest in storage or off to market before October has
ended.
Sure different from the old days of my youth.
Oats was a top summer crop and days and hours of
man(sometime woman) power were spent cutting binding, shocking, allowing for all moisture to escape. Then
the threshing crew came along with the big, noisy threshing machine that was slowly towed from farm to farm by
a huge, clumsy, slow moving tractor that was also the
power that drove that machine.
Oats, for the most part, in my old stomping
grounds has been replaced by another fall crop -- soy
beans, putting their harvest and that of corn back to back,
sometimes almost neck and neck. Thanks to one of the
inventive marvels in the agriculture industry, dryers,
crops can be taken from the field earlier and probably in
many cases, in better condition.
This appears to have been one of the best autumn harvesting seasons in many years. I heard not long
ago that September 2015 has been the third warmest
September recorded in Iowa. I cant imagine pickin
corn with sleeves of chambray shirts rolled up or in tee
shirts and perhaps the harvesters cab with air conditioning operating. It stirs up the memory bits to the early
1940s when several farmers were still hand picking corn.
Things were more modern on the farm on which my
family resided. I recall my dad being the gofer to get the
picked corn (still on the cob and some of shucks remaining) unhitching the wagon that had been attached to the
John Deere two row picker which was side mounted to
the John Deere tractor. The returned wagon was attached
to the picker for another fill. Many of those trips of the
picker/tractor around the field and the wagonloads transported and elevated to the crib were done through some
snow that had earlier kept them out of the fields. There
were no drying machines thus the reason the cribs were
built with open spaces between the siding slats allowing
air to circulate. A few months later the corn sheller guy
came, a trucker hired and the cribbed ears of corn were
fed through the sheller and the grain directed through a
chute to the truck. Most was taken to the elevator but
some was relegated to bins in the cow barn. The acreage allotted for corn on the 360 acre farm took days to
harvest and still more work at shelling time. The left over
cobs were transported to a cob house, those cobs being
used to get fires started in the cook and heating stoves
or to finish up the kitchen range fire for a meal in the
summertime. During nice weather and summer months it
was my job each evening to bring in two or three bushel
baskets full of cobs and put them on the back porch near
the kitchen. I guess my Dad took pity and spoiled me in
inclement times as there was no cleared path to the cob
house.
On the truck gardening front, the vegetable gardeners are beginning to clear their gardens and gathering
in the last of their crops. I have been enjoying yellow
tomatoes brought to me by a fellow church member gardener. She thought they werent doing well but suddenly
with the warm prolonged summer they seemed to flourish. She admitted the growing was primary for her but this
year she said she actually ate more and they were pretty
good. I have appreciated these gifts as few available
in grocery produce sections and at premium prices. Too
much walking to attend Farmers Markets anymore. Another member/friend usually has an abundance of first of
season crop, zucchini and brings it to give away. I only
like it in bread or cake and not well enough to go to the
trouble of all the grating, etc. One gal picked one up and
showed me her big cucumber.
Upon my informing her it was a zucchini she put
it back on the table. The zucchini donor gave me quite a
few beets last year but I didnt see any this year. Perhaps
I shouldnt have confessed that I had put some on the
stove to cook and became preoccupied at the computer.
In old(er) age my sense of smell has deteriorated so it
wasnt until I suddenly remembered in time to see a slight
haze down the hall. I told him I lost the pan but saved the
beets. Thank goodness they must be cooked with skins
on to avoid bleeding. I enjoyed some plain beets with
my evening meal and several days of pickled ones. I still
have a few of Mr. Beets spring black raspberries in my
freezer which will taste mighty good on some homemade
shortcake in the depths of a winter month, coming too
soon.
So summer is winding down, the harvests are
soon collected, the machinery checked and stored for the
winter.
The gardens have been cleared and remains

IT PAYS TO
ADVERTISE!
Remember when...?
To the Editor,
As Webster County 4-H celebrates National
4-H Week October 4-10, we would encourage all 4-H
alumni to think back to the days when they were in 4-H
and what they remember best about that experience.
Think about how you can share that experience
with a current 4-H member or another youth who so
greatly needs to be part of a youth program that teaches
life skills.
Changes in 4-H have come gradually; were you
a member of an all girls club where you learned about
Home Improvement, Sewing, and Foods once every three
years or part of an all boys club where you exhibited livestock with much different characteristics than todays
livestock?
Do you remember having to wear a 4-H uniform to your club meeting? Recordbooks were all hand
written and not downloaded from the computer? How
about Rally Night, demonstrations or the Clover Chain
Ceremony?
Now in 4-H, most clubs are co-ed and youth in
grades 4-12 can select from over thirty different project
areas to learn from.
More than six million young people across the
country will celebrate National 4-H Week, an annual celebration of 4-H during the first full week of October.
Research has proven participation in 4-H has a
significant positive impact on young people.
Recent findings from the Tufts University, 4-H
Study of Positive Youth Development indicates when
compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are nearly
four times more likely to contribute to their communities, two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors
and two times more likely to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in out-ofschool time.
The 4-H program in Iowa is an essential part of
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, a partnership between Iowas land-grant university and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In Webster County, nearly 300 4-H club youth
(4-12 grade), more than 30 Clover Kids (K-3 grade) and
approximately 100 volunteers from the community are
involved in 4-H.
Every year 4-H members have the opportunity
to participate in the Webster County Fair, Iowa State
Fair, Communications Day, Clothing Day, project workshops, community service events and club activities.
4-Hers also participate in Shooting Sport disciplines rifle, archery and shotgun.
Alumni, current members, volunteers and leaders are encouraged to show their support of Webster
County 4-H by taking to social media and following ISU
Extension of Webster County on Facebook or Twitter.
To learn more about 4-H or join 4-H in Webster
County, contact County Youth Coordinator, Linda Cline,
at (515) 576-2119 orlcline@iastate.edu.
Now is the time of the year to join 4-H. If you
know of a youth in grades 4-12, they are eligible to join
4-H. Youth will have fun; develop skills in communication, citizenship, leadership, project knowledge and skills
in personal life management by being involved in 4-H.
Research shows 4-H helps young people excel
beyond their peers. The structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that young people receive
Elkhorn Earlybirds, Gowrie, stand with their collected items to donate to a womens shelter. Photo courtesy of

Mildred rocked slowly in her wicker chair.
Before her flashed events of days gone by those days
which she always seemed to see so vividly.
They were special, those childhood and schoolday memories.
Born into a large clan-like family in Otho
Township, Mildred was one of a set of twins along with
another sister and five brothers.
As a child, Mildred's days were busy for there
were all kinds of chores to be done. Gathering eggs,
bringing in wood for the stove, driving the cows from the
pasture, cooking and cleaning up after meals and milking
the cows.
But besides the chores, there were the fun times
too. Playing hide-and-seek in the barn, sliding down the
snow packed hills in the winter, challenging her family
to croquette in the summer, and attending baseball games
Brown murdered...
The Dayton Police Department has been very
active in the investigation, alongside the Webster County
Sherriff and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
DCI is investigating this, along with the help of
the Webster County Sherriffs Department and the Dayton Police Department.
In an autopsy report released on Friday, Oct. 2,
law enforcement concurred that the cause of death was
by gunshot.
The manner of death, according to a press release by the Webster County Sheriff, is certified as a
homicide.
Area law enforcement is asking anyone who
may have witnessed or heard anything unusual during
the evening or the morning hours of Monday or Tuesday
to contact the Webster County Sheriffs Office at (515)
573-1410 or Crime Stoppers at (515) 573-1444.

Areas with volunteers to teach the 4-Hers here
in Webster County include: Aerospace, Horse, Rabbit,
Rabbit Hopping, Poultry, Sheep, Cat, Dog, Pet and Rifle,
Shotgun & Archery Disciplines in the Shooting Sports
program.
Remember when you had to wear your 4-H uniform to the club meeting? 4-Hers may not do that now,
but they take great pride when they wear a t-shirt that
represents 4-H.
So even though 4-H has changed over the years,
it is still a youth program that encourages youth to do
their best, provides leadership opportunities, communication experiences and many other skills that todays
youth need.
Thanks to the 4-Hers, families, leaders, project
leaders, Youth Committee, 4-H Foundation board members and contributors, Fairboard members and everyone
else involved with the Webster County 4-H program.
You are what makes our 4-H program great!

MER presented recommendations to address storm water concerns
in 5 problem areas and discussed preliminary costs. (excluding legal and
engineering fees). Motion by Weston, Second by Lee approving MER to
subcontract Kahl Construction and start exploratory work. Ayes All. MC
MER located property pins at the east end of the alley; 800 block
Agnes Ave. Platt recorded in 1990s. Touched base on Iowa Law as it
pertains to city right-of-way. Property owner completed brush & tree
trimming. City will determine if this clearance allows adequate alley
access? Access to transformer pole is easily accessible from the opposite
end of the alley.
City is seeking collection of costs from property owner and title to
remove the old elevator property which is a violation of city nuisance property maintenance code and this action will address a safety hazard
to residents and property. City is seeking support from The Callender
Fire Department to forward with the most cost effective way to remove
the structure; a controlled burn however the Mayor was informed that 3
years ago the fire department did not want to participate in a controlled
burn at this site owned by Mid States Millwright. Based on the escalated
safety hazard with recent changes, removal of tin and exposed wood, City
Council and Union Pacific Representatives feel there are escalated safety
concerns at this site and the City Council will ask the fire department if they
will support a controlled burn and rescind their motion, from 3 years ago,
indicating they will not burn the elevator. Union Pacific Railroad has given
the city permission to close the railroad for a period of time for a controlled
burn. It was noted there are no concerns regarding a controlled burn at this
site by the Fire Board of Trustees.
Fire Board of Trustees will work with county auditor to include Written

I have included the building goals for the high school with this report. We
will start with these and tweak them as needed. The staff felt positive
about the process and has plans to address each goal.
The Iowa Safe and Supportive Schools (IS3) team has met three
times to discuss school climate and culture. We have used the Iowa Youth
Survey as our basis for creating a strategy to improve climate and culture.
Last week students were surveyed and were asked if they had one teacher
or staff member they felt they could connect with. Once we have all of the
data the next step will be to select a strategy to connect kids and adults.
I have included the PLC teams for this school year. The PLCs are also part
of the building goals process, hoping to build collaborative relationships
amongst staff to focus on improved instruction and student achievement.
We have met once and will meet again this Friday morning. The HS staff
spent time going over the emergency plans for the building. One addition
is that we now permission to use the Methodist Church in case the building
ever needs to be evacuated. This will be what we call our re-location
spot. Homecoming plans are finalized, with parade at 2:00. The theme
this year is A Heros Homecoming and we will be honoring local veterans
and posts.
Jim Duncan, Elementary School Principal gave the following report:
All emergency drills have been completed, including fire, tornado, bus
evacuation. The Cub Scouts used the Elementary Building for registration.

In the game of football, there is a consensus that
whoever makes the least amount of mistakes wins the
game.
The Southeast Valley football team did just that
on the road, as the Jaguars held off Kuemper Catholic 2720 on Friday evening at Carroll Athletic Field in Carroll.
While the Jags (5-1) committed no turnovers of
their own, Southeast Valley forced the Knights (2-4) into
three first half turnovers to earn a hard fought victory.
It was a very good win and very good team effort, said Head Coach Mike Swieter. I was happy with
the defensive game plan the coaches had ready.
The game between the Jaguars and the Knights
began with a battle of field position and trickery, as junior
Myles Davis was used as a halfback before looking downfield to throw the ball. Despite Kuempers ability to defend
such plays, Davis had some success as he went 3-5 for 25
yards.
We wanted to come out early and use Myles
Davis speed and attack their outside, Swieter said of the
strategy. But with their team speed this made it very difficult.
The Jaguars were unable to convert a seven play
drive into points, the Knights responded with a drive of
their own.
However, the Southeast Valley defensive unit
held tough, as senior Conner Conrad came with an interception.
Unfortunately, the Jaguar offense couldnt get
anything going, as Kuemper forced Southeast Valley into
a three and out.
After an exchange of stalled drives and punts, a
Knight miscue led to junior Sam Berglund fumble recovery toward the end of the first quarter.
This gave the Jaguars great field position, but
both squads were gave in to three and out situations to begin the second quarter of play.
Southeast Valley finally broke the deadlock with
9:21 left in the half, as junior quarterback Nolan Brand
connected with fellow classmate Dakota Jaeschke for a
huge 80 yard touchdown pass. After a senior Cade King
extra point, the Jaguars stood at a 7-0 advantage.
The following Kuemper drive was stalled, enabling the Jaguars to piece together a drive which resulted
in a nine yard touchdown scamper by junior Aaron Swieter.
After a failed PAT, Southeast Valley extended
their lead to 13 with less than four minutes left in the half.
Kuemper replied with another drive, before senior Cameron Anderson punished the pass-happy Knights
with another interception to end the first half. At halftime,
Southeast Valley stood with a 13-0 lead.
The line once again gave Nolan time to throw,
Swieter said, noting the complete team effort. The run-
ning backs ran hard, the quarterbacks threw well and the
wide receivers made some very big plays.
Coming back from the break, the Knights finally
put points on the scoreboard, as Miles Rupiper broke out a
40 yard touchdown run. The following PAT was no good,
as Kuemper narrowed the Jaguar lead down seven points.
The Knights had the chance to tie the game, as the
Jaguars were forced into another three and out.
On the resulting fourth down with 8:52 on the
clock, Davis was able to salvage a high snap in the endzone and punt the ball away. In another seven play drive,
the Jaguars turned back Kuemper on a critical fourth down.
Myles Davis back punting for us was huge,
Swieter said. He saved a safety or a touchdown by staying relaxed and getting the ball out of the endzone.
Responding from the stop, Southeast Valley mastered an 11 play drive that saw a 27 yard Brand connection
to Jaeschke on fourth and long, which led to another Aaron
Swieter touchdown run.
The resulting two point conversion failed, but the
Jaguars held a 19-6 advantage with less than 11 minutes
remaining.
After the Knights scored another touchdown,
Brand found King for a thrilling 76 yard touchdown pass.
The two point conversion pass from Davis to Jaeschke was
good, and the Jaguars advanced their lead to 27-13 with
5:16 left in the ballgame.
Kuemper would score once more to close the gap
to seven, and had the ball in the closing minutes to put the
game into overtime. After wild 17 play drive, King batted
away a pass to the endzone to seal the Southeast Valley
victory.
Despite grabbing seven first downs, Brand went
8-11 for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Aaron Swieter
rushed for 47 yards, while sophomore Kaleb Jondle ran
Junior Myles Davis attempts to throw the football
downfield in the first quarter of the Southeast Valley-Kuemper Catholic football game on Friday in Carroll. Davis
went 3-5 for 25 yards, as the Jaguars defeated the Knights,
27-20.
