The Jaguars girls basketball team are leading Kimball 62-39 with 2:32 left in their game. They led 39-22 at halftime. The final score of that game was 66-42, as the Jaguars improved to 7-3 overall and 3-0 in the Central Minnesota Conference. It ties the best start in the CMC for the girls basketball team, set in the 1999-2000 season when they opened up 3-0 on their way to a 7-7 finish in the league.
Kimball, meanwhile, fell to 0-3 in the CMC and 2-5 overall.
