Picking up their first win of the 2010-2011 season, the B-B-E Jaguars girls basketball team annihilated the host Ortonville Trojans tonight in a non-conference game 69-34.
The Trojans fell to 1-2 overall. They dropped their season opener to Benson 63-42 on November 30, so tonight's game appeared to be up for grabs before tip-off.
Up next for the Jaguars girls basketball team: after going out west to the South Dakota border, the Jaguars will make the trip east down Highway 55 to Maple Lake next Tuesday (Dec. 14) for the Central Minnesota Conference opener against the Irish.
Coming tonight in a home wrestling match: the Jaguars wrestling team will host Maccray/Renville County West in a dual meet at the high school.

Also, if you haven't heard already, the Jaguars boys basketball team faces WCA in the championship game at the A-C-GC tournament in Grove City this Saturday night. I'll confirm the start time on Friday and get it posted ASAP.
