Jaguars girls basketball defeats Eden Valley-Watkins

The Jaguars won 34-30 over the visiting Eagles, extending their winning streak to three in a row. Incredibly, the score was 9-9 at halftime. This win marks the first time in school history that the Jaguars girls basketball team has swept the season series from Eden Valley-Watkins. They are now 5-6 in the CMC and 9-14 overall, with a real shot at climbing to third place in the league if they win out on the schedule.


Lauren Anderson posted another double double (11 points, 11 rebounds), while Raeann Sorenson led the Jaguars in scoring with 13 points and 9-of-10 free throw shooting.

Eden Valley-Watkins falls to 7-5 in the CMC and 9-12 overall.

Here's my attempt at embedding a Youtube clip, taken during the final minute of the Jaguars' 50-29 win at Osakis last Tuesday...
