There’s something special about the right leg of Mankato West senior Jakobe Tosch. While he also serves as kicker for the Scarlets football team, he’s also an issue for opponents on the pitch.
He proved that during Sept. 19’s Pack the Stands showdown against Mankato East. Tosch finished the day with a natural hat trick to lead the Scarlets to a 5-1 win.
