Travis Winter and Eric Speldrich are shown teaming up with a third Jaguar defender as they smother a Kimball Cubs ball carrier - they are two of 14 seniors on this year's Jaguars football team. Section 4A playoffs begin for B-B-E at Lester Prairie next Tuesday night. Read more below.
Two final scores from Wednesday night action: St. Agnes 40, West Lutheran 7 - St.Anthony Village 24, St.Bernard's 21.
The Jaguars Football team is seeded #5 for the upcoming Section 4A quarterfinals, and they will open at #4-seeded Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity next Tuesday night at 7:00pm. The LP/HT Bulldogs play their games in Lester Prairie, which is straight south of Howard Lake.
The total distance from the B-B-E high school to Lester Prairie, driving through Litchfield and Howard Lake, is 76 miles. (A better path may exist that I'm unaware of.)
"131 Hickory Street North" is where the Lester Prairie school is located.
The Bulldogs' football field is located on the southeast end of Lester Prairie, near the swimming pool. If you head two blocks to the south from the school, turn left, it's about 3 blocks down from the K-12 building of Lester Prairie.

#1- St.Bernard's first round bye
#2 St.Agnes vs. #7 Lions Gate Academy
#3 A-C-GC vs. #6 West Lutheran
