Jaguar fastpitch opens playoffs at home - and don't forget about the KSAX "Athlete of the Year" voting!

The Jaguars fastpitch team received the number seven playoff seed in Sub-Section 5A-West in this morning's coaches' vote. They host #10-seed St. John's Prep in a play in round game at 5:00pm on Thursday. If they win, they travel to #2-seed Osakis the following day.

In the past seven seasons, the Jaguars have hosted a playoff opener six times. In 2007, they opened the playoffs as the #6 seed at #3-seed Osakis and won a 17-6 blowout on their way to a sub-section
runner-up finish and a Section 5A Final Four berth.

**Update on Wednesday afternoon...I learned that the B-B-E boys' 4x100 and 4x800 relay teams won first-place titles at the Central Minnesota Conference championships in Holdingford yesterday. Not all results have been reported yet.
