Saturday afternoon at the Swanville High School, the Lady Jaguars basketball team faced a struggling 0-10 Bulldogs team and raced out to a 48-10 halftime lead. In the second half, even while employing the most liberal of subbing rotations, with B-squad members running the final six minutes, the Lady Jaguars hit a B-B-E girls record 91 points, the final two points on freshmen center Rachel Anderson's free throws.
In the second game against a 7-2 Bulldogs team, the Jaguars basketball team had a considerably tougher outing, falling by a 66-50 score. They played much better than their dismal night before at Kimball and will need to keep improving as a brutal schedule picks up beginning next week.
