The Beavers beat the Jimmies in a close 35-28 game that ended with a seven yard run to win the game with less than two minutes left on the clock.
This season, the Beavers are in a good spot to defeat Jamestown for the second year in a row.

The Beavers have earned a cumulative 139 points over six games this season as compared to their 135 points last season after their first six games.

The Beavers will look to earn their second win of the season this Saturday, October 10, in Jamestown.
