Coming Tuesday night - Jaguar girls basketball hosts conference rival Eden Valley-Watkins

Though the weather will be frightfully cold outside, you can be be sure to warm up in the confines of the B-B-E High School gymnasium on Tuesday night, as the Jaguars girls basketball team is set to host Eden Valley-Watkins in an important conference match up between two teams fighting for a top three finish in the league.

Currently, EV-W sits in a three-way tie for third place in the Central Minnesota Conference at 5-4. The Jaguars are one game back, holding down sixth place alone.

Back on January 6, the Jaguars suffered a 44-34 loss in Eden Valley in the teams' first meeting.

Only a couple weeks ago, we had seven undefeated boys basketball teams in Class A. As of now, only two are unbeaten in Class A - Sebeka and our Jaguars.
