I'm guessing he rarely gets mistaken for Bob Gibson.

How bad do you have to be to have a snapshot of you giving a dugout interview to qualify for your baseball card picture?

This is what Kelly saw

Lucky girl got to go to the game the other day. AND she had great seats.

Now... another picture

Game Summary/Box Score May 6, 2006 Missoula Raptors at Glacier Knights @ Columbia Falls High School

May 6, 2006 Missoula Raptors at Glacier Knights @ Columbia Falls High School

MISSOULA 32 GLACIER 14

COLUMBIA FALLS – The Glacier Knights played perhaps their best game in franchise history. They lead, they battled, however, eventually still came up short to the defending Montana Champion, Missoula Raptors as the Raptors recorded two defensive scores and received another solid game from tailback, Gavin Johnson in securing the victory and retaining sole possession of first place in the Northern division of the AA.
Johnson rushed for 89 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown; Johnson’s touchdown turned a 7-6 game into a 13-6 game temporarily… as the Knights all-star and reining Montana MVP, Jason Zielanski blocked the extra point and returned it 93 yards for a rare conversion return score, making the game 13-8 at that time.
The Knights actually drew first blood when Zielanski capped a Knight drive running in for a touchdown from 5 yards out and the Knights lead the game from midway through the first quarter until early in the second quarter.
Two big defensive plays turned out to be the difference for the Raptors as Max McCracken covered an errant punt snap for the teams first touchdown and Brian Hughes intercepted Zielanski and returned it 65-yards for a score to put the game out of reach at that time by the 32-8 margin. Sandwiched in between the two defensive scores were two Shane Jurasek to Tyler Boaz touchdown passes, however, the Knights defense held the top-rated Jurasek to only 34-yards passing on the day.
A new star seemed to emerge for the Knights with the addition to the team of Mike Kuehne. Kuehne rushed 15 times for 83 yards and helped out on defense. However, his contribution to what has been an anemic Knight rushing attack may help make the Knights a serious threat to play spoiler for the remainder of the season.

Game Summary/Box Score April 29, 2006 Missoula Raptors at Helena Titans @ Jefferson High School

Game Summary/Box Score April 29, 2006 Missoula Raptors at Helena Titans @ Jefferson High School
MISSOULA 34 HELENA 11
BOULDER – In 2005, when the Missoula Raptors emerged onto the scene as an expansion team in Montana, their games with the Helena Titans were the tightest, coming-down-to-the-last-minutest games in the RMFL. Thanks to a smothering Raptor defense and Shane Jurasek and his 5 touchdown passes, the first meeting in 2006 turned into a laugher as the Raptors ran away to a 34-11 victory in Boulder, Montana.
Jurasek had a near perfect day also passing for 279 yards and no interceptions against a Helena defense that was hampered as well by the teams offensive ineffectiveness.
Helena tailback, Keith Deboo, was fairly strong for 94 yards rushing on 20 attempts to keep the team moving, however, the Titans could complete only 5 of 15 passes for 59 yards and just could not get their explosiveness back.
Ironically, the Titans of 2005, lead the RMFL in offense with Shane Jurasek at the helm. With Jurasek in Missoula, the Titans were ranked 7th… of the AA teams, and will likely drop lower.
For the Raptors offense, Gavin Johnson also had a big day, accounting for more than 100 yards from scrimmage and hauling in 2 of the 5 touchdown tosses, including the final two of the second quarter that extended a narrow 7-3 lead to an insurmountable 21-3 halftime lead for the visiting Raptors.
