SHELBYVILLE \u2014 North Laurel came up just short in a 34-27 loss to Collins on Friday, dropping the Jaguars to 2-3 on the season.
The Jaguars stayed within striking distance throughout the game and had a chance late, but a fumble with 4:25 remaining at the Collins 24-yard line ended a promising North Laurel possession.
\u201cWe played a really good game against one of the top offenses in the state,\u201d North Laurel coach Steven Nelson said. \u201cWe ran the ball great all night and just lost two fumbles.\u201d
Bryson Nantz turned in a strong performance for the Jaguars, consistently producing on the ground behind North Laurel\u2019s offensive line.
\u201cBryson Nantz played outstanding football and ran hard all night behind the offensive line,\u201d Nelson said.
North Laurel also came away from the game with some injury concerns as the Jaguars begin preparing for Southwestern.
\u201cWe got some guys banged up from getting pulling guards cut all night and need to get healthy for the next game,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cWe focus on Southwestern now and get better each week.\u201d
Despite the loss, Nelson remains encouraged by the direction of his team.
\u201cI love this team and they still haven\u2019t reached their peak. Go Jags.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
