Is today not the most exciting day in B-B-E school history?

First, a few scenes from the MACCRAY game...

Today the unbeaten Jaguars boys basketball team goes for a state championship. Tip off against Springfield is at 12pm noon at Target Center.

What a ride it has been this season! The team continues to impress fans of their own team, as well as any opponents they face.

Yesterday, after falling behind 19-8, and their second-best scorer on the bench with three personal fouls (Brady Koehler), the outlook was grim.

Who expected a 12-0 run rattled off in a matter of a few minutes that put them in the lead at the 7:47 mark? It was the most thrilling show of resiliency that I've ever seen. On a big stage like that, against an opponent that had a good shot at beating them complete with a multi-talented Division I player, the Jaguars did not fold.

Good grief, "did not fold" does not even describe it. They came back with a vengeance and punched MACCRAY in the throat while spurning a 33-10 run after falling behind by nine.

A 33-10 run in a state semifinal game! Crazy. We love it. We hope to see more of it this afternoon.
