2019 JM Varsity Football

Rockets vs. Huskies
October 16, 2019

Things looked good to begin on Wednesday night for the John Marshall football team.  But against the No. 1 ranked team in the state, those good feelings didn't last long.  Owatonna collected itself quickly after an early JM touchdown and went on to a 54-7 win over the Rockets in the final regular-season game of the year for both teams, at John Drews field.

Owatonna moved to 6-0 in the Big Southeast Red Division and 8-0 overall. JM is 2-4, 3-5 and will host a first-round playoff game on Tuesday.

JM got the game's first score on a 15-yard run by Parker Navitsky. Jack Ward connected on the extra-point kick.  Read more...

2019 JM Football Program Notes

Athletes are reminded to listen carefully at each team time for scheduled changes. Keep an eye on the web calendars as schedules can change quickly.

SCHEDULES:
All schedules are tentative and can quickly change based on weather and other conflicts. Always bring t-shirt, shorts and gym shoes in case we have to move inside.

Posted 'practice' or 'team times' were expanded to better reflect when athletes are more likely to be available for pickup, carpools and work. 'Practice' or 'team time' is not just field time. It also includes classroom time, film time, coaches/team talk & wrap-up, trainer talks, picking up and putting away equipment, equipment handout and repair, etc. Weather delays can also extend times beyond those posted.  Actual field and contact time is limited per MSHSL rules and is a subset of our posted team times.

ROCKET GEAR:
Rocket Gear is to be worn at all team times - shirt & shorts in Rocket colors: red, black, white or grey that are either plain or have a JM Football or other JM logo. Cleats should be black and long sleeve shirts must be black.

ABSENCE REPORTING:
Email or text JMRocketFootball@gmail.com with ALL absences.  The respective head coach will then be notified.

TRAVEL RELEASE:
If a student-athlete is not going to take the school transportation a Travel Release Form must be completed 48 hours prior to departure. The completed form must be turned into the JM Activities Office and cannot be given to the coach at the event.

VOLUNTEERS & DONATIONS:
We have many opportunities for Rocket Fans & Family to volunteer or donate to the JM Football program.  Please check out the many opportunities at www.tinyurl.com/JMRocketFootball.  Thank you for your continued support!
