Wednesday night was Senior Night for the St. Louis Park Orioles football team and it was a tale of two seniors Aaron Ellingson, who passed for two touchdowns and Alex Hager ran for two more to lead the Orioles to a 28-7 win over the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars.
After their first three drives went 0-3 on fourth down, the fourth time would turn out to be the charm for St. Louis Park as Hager ran 21 yards up the middle to put the Orioles ahead 7-0 with 2:11 left in the first quarter.
St. Louis Park would score the second quarter's lone touchdown came after Deontez Ross recovered a fumbled Jefferson punt returned. The Orioles regained possession and Ellingson fired a 29 yard pass to Cole Ewald and he put the Orioles ahead 14-0. The Jaguars would lose quarterback Carter Hanson after he got injured following a Tony Stadler sack. But the good news for fans who made the trip from Bloomington, Hanson would return in the second half.
The Orioles would extend the lead to 20 when Jefferson turned the ball over on downs at their own 17 yard line and Ellingson struck quickly with a 17 yard touchdown pass to McCabe Dvorak. There would be no shutout on this chilly Wednesday night as the Jaguars, deep in their own territory most of the game used a little trickery. Hanson pitched the ball to Manny Montgomery and he threw a beautiful pass to Hunter Burgess and he hauled it into the end zone for an 81 yard touchdown. St. Louis Park concluded the scoring on Hager's second touchdown of the game a 19 yard run with no time remaining.
St. Louis Park ended the regular season at 4-4 and Bloomington Jefferson finished with a record of 2-6. Section play begins Tuesday, October 22.
