The Pioneers are a half game behind Central Minnesota Conference front-runner Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted in the standings.

Here's the breakdown of the CMC in girls basketball:

4 - Kimball (6-5)

Meanwhile, the Jaguars boys basketball team has a solid test coming up with a road trip up I-94 to Ashby on Thursday night. The Arrows are the fourth-best team in Sub-Section 6A-South, and the game will most likely be well-scouted by coaches or assistants from many of the Little Eight Conference teams and fans. Ashby sits at 12-7 overall and 6-4 in the Little Eight Conference.
