As the lower seed in the section this season, the Bluejay bleachers were on the visiting side of the New Ulm football field this year in the 3AAA championship. With not a lot of seating space compared to the home side with the press box, many Waseca rooters had to stand on their feet to watch their Jays battle the team that handed them their only loss of the regular season.
The bleachers on the other end of the field had plenty to root for during the game, with the TCU Titans having a 24-14 lead late. The away section ended up being the ones that saw their team hoist the Section 3AAA trophy though, with the Bluejays running to their side.
No. 2 seeded Waseca went up against top-seeded Tri-City United in the section title game on Friday night. While they did not play their best football at times, with them committing four turnovers in the contest, the Bluejays ended up coming back from behind, scoring 14 unanswered points to win 28-24. The victory secured their second-straight trip to the state tournament.
