Ready For Playoffs: Jaguars Volleyball Completes Regular Season With 3-0 Sweep of K-M-S


In the regular season finale, at the Fighting Saints' Parents Night, the Jaguars volleyball team defeated Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg (10-11-1) in straight games 25-17, 25-18, 26-24. The Jaguars finish the season with two tournament championships (HL-W-W, Willmar) and an undefeated (7-0) Central Minnesota Conference title. They will enter Sub-Section 5A-South playoffs with a 23-3 overall record, tying the third-best regular season in school history (2003).

The 2003 squad finished 23-3 to set a regular-season win record that was 21-2 (1995). The 2005 squad went 24-2 to break that, then the 2006 squad went 25-3 to set the current record.

Sub-Section 5A-South playoffs begin for the Jaguars on Thursday, October 25 at 7:00, in a home match against Kimball Area or Ogilvie. The Jaguars are the #1 seed in the mini-sub section of 5A-South.

The two underclassmen squads in the varsity-level program, the C- and B-squads, both wrapped up spectacular seasons in which they went a combined 37-3 in matches. More on their seasons will follow tomorrow. The C-squad went 20-0 during the season, including a championship at the B-B-E tournament, claiming a CMC title as well. It was a remarkable run this fall for that group. I hope the magic can continue and keep the Jaguars at the top of area volleyball team in future seasons.
