Friday Night Lights IV: Tigers rout Jaguars

Whether it was "three yards and a cloud of dust" or quick-moving sweeps around the left end, the Browerville Tigers faced light resistance throughout the night in a 44-7 win over our B-B-E Jaguars football team for a Week Four match up of Sub-District III squads.

The Tigers (2-2 overall) led 22-0 at  halftime.

The Tigers out-gained the Jaguars by a 364-yard to 134-yard overall margin. B-B-E had 77 yards of rushing offense compared to 352 yards by Browerville.

For the record, there is no such thing as "Browerville/Eagle Valley" - the Eagle Valley school district dissolved (disappeared) on July 30, 2017. It no longer exists. We did not play "Browerville/Eagle Valley" last night. That is not the proper name of the team. They are simply the Browerville Tigers. If we were going to get really technical, we played the "Browerville/Lafreniere Home School" Tigers!  Browerville has an agreement with the Lafreniere home school to allow their students to play on Browerville interscholastic teams.

Time to head west to the University of Minnesota-Morris Homecoming festivities and football game at noon at Big Cat Stadium! Then to Swift Falls...read more here:

Go Jaguars!!!!

Updates: at halftime, the Browerville Tigers have a 22-0 lead over our B-B-E Jaguars football team.

At the Eagles lair

After three games are in the book, our B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team has a 2-1 set lead. The Eagles won game one 25-20. Game four final: Jaguars 25, Eagles 19. In the final set, B-B-E fought back from a stubborn five-point deficit up to a 13-8 score in favor of EV-W. Katherine Mastey had a kill for a side out, and Kiley Winter's strong serving helped the Jaguars gain two additional points on EV-W errors. Grace Illies then added a kill, and the Eagles hit long to tie the game at 13-13.

Brittany Berge watches one of her kills slam to the EV-W back court in game three tonight.

Brittany Berge shot an incredible 59.3 percent on kills, having just three misfires on 27 attacks with 19 kills. Ally Gruber also had 19 kills with a team-high 18 digs.

**Here's video from the end of game two tonight; the Jaguars won this critical game by a 25-16 score:

With the win, B-B-E remains undefeated in the Central Minnesota Conference with a 3-0 mark. They now prepare for the Lakeview Invitational this Saturday in Cottonwood.

The Eagles, who had just suffered a 3-1 loss earlier this week on Tuesday against visiting New London-Spicer, falls to 10-5 overall with their third loss in the last four matches. They are 1-2 in the CMC.

Church activities on Sunday: wonderful food!

Don't miss out on two church-related events on Sunday! They overlap one another, but you are more than welcome to take in both! (11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.)

At the B-B-E elementary school, St. Donatus Catholic church hosts a fall dinner and raffle in the cafeteria/gymnasium. The raffle is at 1 p.m. for numerous prizes, including the grand prize of $500 cash.

At Chippewa Falls Lutheran church in Terrace, they are hosting a hog roast and a craft and bake sale.

These are two of 15 churches in the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper's coverage area (14 if you don't count the now-closed church of Gausdal Lutheran).

Below, video from the end of Thursday night's border battle volleyball match:


Needless to say, the Jaguars were just a little excited about the win! Great job!!

Friday Night Lights III: on-field struggle vs. Royals

The going was tough in the third installment of Friday Night Lights this fall for our B-B-E Jaguars football team. In a road game at No. 10 state-ranked Royalton, the Jaguars trailed 8-0 after the first quarter and 24-0 in the second quarter. A 15-yard scoring strike from Jackson Peter to Dylan Meyer in the second quarter made it 24-8 at halftime.

B-B-E's defense held for the third quarter, as the Royals got just one touchdown in that period on an 81-yard punt return by Zach Gottwalt (6'5" wide receiver/safety). The Royals senior, three-year starting quarterback, Gavin Suska, made good on nine of his 16 pass attempts for 168 yards and three touchdowns. He had second-quarter scoring passes of 51 yards and 45 yards.

Final score: Royalton 32, B-B-E 8. The Royals (3-0) rolled up 376 yards of offense, with 208 yards coming on the ground. The bulk of their rushing yardage came from seven ball carriers who had 18 or more yards on the night. The Royals, second place in Sub-District III and a Section 7AA finalist last year, appear as strong as ever in spite of losing District Offensive Back of the Year Riley Smieja (1,351 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2017) to graduation.

Next for the Jaguars: a home game on Friday, September 21 against Browerville (1-2).

Sizzling in the gym

The Jaguars celebrate with Ally Gruber giving Emily Knight (middle) a high five. Knight had just put away a smoking-hot attack for a kill, putting the Jaguars ahead 14-13 in the deciding game four. Bonanza Valley Voice photo.

The B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team won by a 3-1 margin over visiting Paynesville Area tonight in front of a rowdy, packed hometown crowd. The Bulldogs traveled well with a huge contingent of Green & Black donning the stands. Game scores were 25-10, 25-17, 18-25, 25-16.

The Bulldogs, already winners of 11 matches this season, built huge leads in game three, 12-2 and then 18-8, but the Jaguars came back to within two points late in the game, down just 20-18, before falling by a seven-point margin.

As a team, the Jaguars had a very solid 24.6 hitting percentage. No Jaguar hit in the 30s, but the attack was extremely balanced with five hitters going at 19.2 percent or better. That is going to win a lot of matches!

**Here's post-match footage from the Bonanza Valley Voice interview with one of the B-B-E tri-captains:


Paynesville, a team loaded with talent that is more than on track to break their school record for wins, falls to 11-3 overall and 1-1 in the Central Minnesota Conference. B-B-E is 8-2 overall and 2-0 in the CMC.

Game day! Two home events

Two big events today! Come out and cheer on your Jaguars!

The B-B-E Jaguars girls' tennis team finally has their home opener. I believe this is the latest in a season in school history that they've gone before having a home match. They host Annandale at 4:30 p.m. at the brand-new high school courts.

Also at home tonight, the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team hosts Paynesville in a battle of conference powers. Both teams have eyes set on CMC hardware this season. The varsity match starts at about 7:15 p.m.!

Be there!
