Brian Goodwin pulls off the gas during the second half and passes out to Billy Borgerding...over Brian's shoulder is Anders Broman (#10) of Lakeview Christian Academy...
In the first half with 6 minutes left, the Jaguars boys' basketball team is up 32-15 over Lakeview Christian Academy in the state Class A quarterfinals at Williams Arena.
With 4:30 left, it's 38-20.
It's still a battle despite the score. The Jaguars need to maintain that huge lead!
A three-point play by Connor Goodwin with 8 seconds on the clock made the score 47-39, which stood at halftime.

The great Anders Broman, and I am not kidding about the "great" part...was held to only 5-of-19 shooting from the field today by a variety of Jaguar defenses. He played 33 of 36 minutes and went 2-of-10 beyond the arc. He was 6-of-7 at the line. His scoring total was 18 points, well below his average of 44.59 coming into the tournament.
The wireless internet at the Barn is painfully slow. I am talking slower than dial-up speed! I will be updating this during a stop on the trip back to Sauk Centre.
The Jaguars face either Broweville or Mountain Lake/Butterfield-Odin at 12:00pm (noon) on Friday at the Target Center.
B-B-E is Final Four bound again!!!!
In this photo, you can see just a fraction of the nearly 1,800 B-B-E fans who were at the game today...
In the second game at Williams Arena, 4th-seeded Browerville fell back 7-2 before getting the deficit down to 7-6 with 14 minutes left in the first half.
With 12:30 left, the Tigers tied it at 8-8. Then they tied it at 10-10 with 12:10 left. MLBO went up 12-10 with 12 minutes remaining.
A bucket by Browerville's #22 tied it at 12-12 with 11:30 left. Then number 50 for Browerville, a long, athletic post player, pounded in a shot off the glass to put the Tigers up 14-12 with 11:15 on the clock.
MLBO's #44 hit a three-pointer to put them back on top by a 17-14 score with 10:20 left. At the 9:50 mark, the same guy hit a three on the same spot for a 20-14 advantage. Browerville's #50 hit inside to make it 20-16 with 9:30 left.
Wow. Browerville's #22 pulled up from down town and hit a 3-point bomb with 7:40 left to tie the game at 26-26. The Tigers did trail 24-20 a couple minutes earlier in the game.
Time to go.
