The Perry varsity football players made the most of their one last chance to step on the field Monday night as the Bluejays defeated the junior varsity from Des Moines Lincoln 20-19.  The game developed quickly after Lincoln reached out to Perry Sunday night asking the Bluejays to fill in for a cancelled game.  Perry suited 17 players for the contest.

Senior Caden Heck’s 13 yard touchdown pass to Eric Lagos with six minutes to go proved to be the game winner.  Lagos added the point after.  Juan Hernandez was the driving force all night leading the team with 21 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns.  Gavin Hegstrom added 39 yards on the ground.  It was a light passing attack by both teams with Heck completing 1-4 passes for 13 yards and 1/1 and  Geren Kenney connecting on 2-5 passes for 15 yards.  Drave Levan and senior Holden Smith had the other receptions.

Seniors Anthony Chavez and Cael Isles also saw significant action throughout the night.
