Jaguar volleyball takes first two matches at Willmar

In their opening-round match of the Willmar Cardinal Classic tournament, the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team defeated Sauk Rapids-Rice 2-0. SR-R is 2-7 in the tough Central Lakes Conference and now 8-11 overall after that loss.

In round two of pool play, the Jaguars beat Annandale to improve to 13-3 on the season. The Cardinals entered today's tournament with an 0-7 mark in the Wright County Conference and a 6-12 overall record.

They faced Central Minnesota Christian of Prinsburg in their final pool play match. CMCS (4-3 Camden Conference, 10-6) was state-ranked earlier in the season but is no longer in the Class A Top 10.

**Update: the Jaguars (15-4) lost to CMC-Prinsburg, but after all pool play matches were completed the Jaguars ended up advancing to the championship match to face Willmar. They swept the Cardinals to finish 4-1 on the day.

More will be posted on Sunday.

Scenes from Homecoming on Friday

Blindfolded musical chairs during the Pep Fest.

The senior boys (left) faced the varsity Jaguar volleyball team during the Pep Fest in a volleyball game. The varsity girls won 16-14 in a nailbiter.

Yes, small schools are the best! You don't see football players suited up and still managing to get in time with the Pep Band at larger schools.

Late in the fourth quarter, Coach Moscho discusses strategy with quarterback Brian Goodwin. The Jaguars executed to perfection in the fourth quarter, burning down the clock and not giving the Rockets much time for their final drive of the game after B-B-E made it 28-20 on a 32-yard TD run by Austin Kollman with 1:48 left.

More coverage of the B-B-E Homecoming is at: http://saukherald.com/main.asp?ArticleID=14490&SectionID=8&SubSectionID=402 and further coverage will be posted on Sunday. At that Sauk Centre Herald web article is a link to a partially-filled photo gallery with scenes from last night's game.

Today is family day.

Friday Night Lights Part V: Jaguars win Homecoming! Believe it!

The end of the game! The Jaguars took a knee to wind out the final seconds of the clock after their defense repelled a threat from the Rockets in the final couple minutes of the fourth quarter...

...and leading up to that final play of the game...

This win was HUGE! In a nutshell...

The B-B-E Jaguars football team shook off a 14-7 halftime deficit and held Rockford Area to six second-half points in a wild 28-20 Homecoming win! It marks only the second time in B-B-E school history that the Jaguars have won two Homecoming football games in a row. The last time they did that was in the 1993 and 1994 seasons. (1993 was a 41-6 win over HL-W, while in 1994 the Jaguars beat Benson 15-12 during a 1-7, playoff-less year).

Yes, I'm more than just a little excited about winning two Homecomings in a row. It is vital to do such things to build up a football program. Not to mention all the intangible benefits like community and school pride!

This was absolutely a team win...a team win in every sense of the phrase. Whatever adjustments the B-B-E coaching staff made in the second half worked out great. Rockford Area was still able to put a few nice drives together after halftime, but luckily only one of them resulted in points in the second half.

Up next: state-ranked Maple Lake (5-0, 4-0 CMC) at home next Friday. The Irish beat the heck out of Kimball Area 41-19 tonight. The Cubs were playing without one of their better players, which may be part of the reason for the lopsided score.

One thing is for sure...Jaguars, please keep winning! I do not want to see the Jaguars fall into a #5 seed situation and end up traveling to Minneapolis for the Section 4A playoff opener. Don't let that happen! Rest up, do your homework, keep the grades up, take care of yourselves and practice hard! I am not ready to say we are poised for a playoff run. We have a long ways to go before that.

Here's a video clip from the Homecoming Pep Fest activities earlier today at the high school...
 

The Pep Fest had a lot of excitement for the 6th-12th grade students who were on hand. Great job to the B-B-E staff and student council members for putting it on.

High fives for Becca Gruber following one of her kills.

 ...that's not big news, it was expected! The most points given up in a game by B-B-E was in the last one, where the Rockets lost 25-13. The Jaguars improve to 4-0 in the Central Minnesota Conference with the win. Rockford Area falls to 5-10 overall and 0-4 in the CMC.

At Melrose, Sauk Centre and the Dutchmen are in a battle with the match tied one game apiece.

Now in game three, Sauk Centre has a 21-12 lead. Catch the action on 105.5 BOB FM! Game four is starting at 8:30. **Update: Melrose led 13-11 in game five but the Streeters took the last four points to win the match 3-2 in games! Whew!

Also! Pierz was down 2-0 in games against visiting EV-W but then rallied to take the last three games and stay on top of the CMC standings with the Jaguars at 4-0 each.

More entertainment from the Homecoming coronation!

Whew! 6.5 yards per carry

Six and a half yards per run was the mark earned by Rockford Area star senior running back, Nick Suardi, against #4-ranked Maple Lake last Friday night during the 35-28 win by the Irish on their home turf.

Suardi has been touted as one of the most explosive players in the Central Minnesota Conference this season. He will give the Jaguars' defense their toughest test yet in the 2012 campaign.

What a wild evening in Jaguar Country

"Men at work" - the Jaguar football team had a unique idea for Homecoming in the first of two home volleyball matches this week. Every little bit helps! Especially in a battle of bordering rivals in a 5-game thriller.

On the home tennis courts, the Jaguars defeated MACCRAY/RCW by a 5-2 score. At two doubles, the Jaguars lost the third set tiebreaker by a 11-9 score for one of the two point losses. They improve to 8-10 with their second win in a row. It's also huge for the Section 5A rankings, as playoffs begin in less than two weeks.

In a barn burner volleyball match, the Jaguars were pushed to the limit by sub-.500 New London-Spicer. The Wildcats battled to a 2-2 tie in games. Game five began at 8:37 tonight.

Update at 9:02: thanks to a 15-4 win in game five, the Jaguars beat NL-S in the volleyball border battle! Oh boy, that was close.

With five matches in the book, the B-B-E Jaguars are clinging to a 3-2 lead in the non-conference girls' tennis match.

And more scenes from the football team's win at Howard Lake

By the middle of this clip, the HL-W-W first-string defense is shown competing against the B-B-E JV offense. Fortunately for the Lakers, none of their starting varsity players got hurt. Less than 3 minutes remained in the game.
 

Members of the Jaguars JV football team take the field in the fourth quarter against HL-W-W on Friday.

The JV defense late in the fourth quarter, facing HL-W-W's first-string varsity offense.

Coach Gossen and Coach Moscho gave the post-game talk to the squad and gave heavy praise throughout for the strong performance showed at Howard Lake.

Up next: Homecoming! They will be in for a battle in an attempt to get their second win of the season. Rockford Area comes to town next Friday night.

More from the big football win last night

From the last moments of the third quarter last night...

What an incredible defensive clinic! The Jaguars held one of the Central Minnesota Conference's most explosive players, Brody Egeberg, to a total of 6 rushes for only five net yards. He did grab 6 catches for 240 yards, but mostly against the B-B-E JV defense during an odd 4th quarter where HL-W-W refused to sub down. (Classy)

In Week 3 against Pierz and Norwood Young-America, Egeberg had rushes of 40 and 41 yards. Egeberg is 1 of 2 players in the CMC to have 100+ yards in rushing, receiving and returns. (Alex Geislinger of Eden Valley-Watkins is the other.)

Friday Night Lights Part IV: Jaguars are throttling the Lakers!

At halftime in rural Howard Lake, the Jaguars football team holds a 28-0 lead over the Lakers in a Central Minnesota Conference games. Both teams are searching for their first conference win of the season.

Whew! What a performance for the Jaguars!

Update: B-B-E took a 35-0 lead into the 4th quarter. For some inexplicable reason, HL-W-W kept 10 of 11 starters in on offense, with one lineman subbed out, and scored two touchdowns against B-B-E's JV defense. Final: B-B-E 35, HL-W-W 14.

The Lakers are 1-3 overall and 0-3 in the CMC.

Up next: Homecoming! The Jaguars face Rockford Area on the home gridiron in Week 5. Look below the video clip for the Week 4 CMC scoreboard.

Desk clearing and some catching up

The new scoreboard, shown after the Jaguars won game three against Holdingford last week.

Whew, so much to keep up on.

Check out that scoreboard! North American State Bank and Bonanza Valley State Bank, two of my top three advertisers on this website, both plugged in large donations to fund new scoreboards at the high school and elementary gymnasiums.

Today or tomorrow I'll try getting a preview up on the B-B-E vs. HL-W-W football game for the Week 4 battle. It goes without saying that the Jaguars do not want to fall to 0-4!

Volleyball team roughed up by Minneota

At Ridgewater College last night, the Jaguars volleyball team ran into a buzzsaw that is the #3-ranked team in Class A, the Minneota Vikings.

Game scores were: 11-25, 22-25, 11-25.

More from the Holdingford volleyball match

The back row is ready to spring into action.

Celebrating the win in game three.

The Jaguars are battling with #3-ranked Minneota (13-2) tonight in Willmar the Ridgewater College gymnasium. Check back later tonight to see how they fared against the Vikings, who just won a loaded tournament at Jackson County Central on Saturday.

Girls' tennis picks up another win

The Jaguars girls' tennis team earned a 5-2 win on Saturday at the Litchfield Quadrangular. The victory was earned over the host Dragons, who are a fellow member of Section 5A.

Up next: a home match on Tuesday at 4:45pm against West Central Area.

B-B-E 6th grade class travels on field trip to Soil and Conservation Festival in Glenwood

Here's a clip taken right before they left on Friday afternoon from the Pope County Fairgrounds...

...and as it turned out, Sunday was way too nice of a day to sit on the computer just like Saturday, so I didn't get to any more video or photos from last week. It's possible that Sunday, Sept. 16 was the last day of real "heat" this year. The observed high in Glenwood was 79 degrees. The forecast shows every day being colder than that for the next 10 days, with it getting as high as 75 on September 23 which is a ways away.

More coverage from Thursday/Friday...

Friday Night Lights Part III: Huskers romp it up

Quarterback Brian Goodwin rolls out from the pocket in the first quarter tonight. Blocking is Ross Rath (#17) and Nick Benton (#63).

After leading 13-0 at halftime, the Huskers scored on a 71-yard touchdown run by their talented quarterback, junior Mitch Messman, only two plays into the third quarter. After falling behind 27-0, the Jaguars busted up the shut out when Brian Goodwin scored from a half-yard out on a quarterback sneak. It ended a nice scoring drive where the Jaguars displayed offensive prowess that was lacking throughout most of the game.

Final score: Holdingford 34, B-B-E 8. While the players could care less how other teams in the area performed, I will say this...it could be a lot worse! Check out some of the scores further below...

Here's a glimpse of how the game went...the Jaguars were playing great defensively and had the Huskers down to 4th-and-4 on the B-B-E 20-yard line...


...here's the lone score the Jaguars put up tonight...

CMC football scores on Sept. 14:
Pierz 47, HL-W-W 20
Maple Lake 55, EV-W 31

...and with 7 minutes left, Kimball led Rockford 20-14...WHEW look at this: in two overtimes, Kimball beats Rockford 33-26!

Area football scores on Sept. 14:
Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta 41, Sauk Centre 8
Benson 46, Montevideo 6 (Matt Ahrndt had 404 yards either passing or rushing himself to go with four rushing touchdowns for the Braves)
BOLD 43, Paynesville Area 9 (Ouch!)
Melrose Area 39, Ogilvie 0
Upsala/Swanville Area 41, United North Central 6
Royalton 20, New York Mills 12
Browerville 32, Ottertail Central 12
Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City 29, Minnewaska Area 0 (A-C-GC is 2-1; they held the Lakers to only 47 yards of offense...oh, my)
Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg 35, West Central Area 14 (K-M-S is 2-1)
Dawson-Boyd 41, MACCRAY 6 (MACCRAY is 0-3) 
Bethlehem Academy 18, Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity 10 (hard to imagine that outcome!) 
New London-Spicer 20, Litchfield 14
Osakis 41, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 28
Albany 28, St. Cloud Cathedral 13 (a very quality win for the Huskies)

Second half action at Kimball last Friday

Good grief!

B-B-E's Paris Mitchell (#14) broke free.

Click on the photo of Mitchell for an uninterrupted view of the photo. Thankfully, he didn't get hurt. A lesson to any young football player: keep your hands and shoulders low! No reason exists to have your hands near a ball carrier's helmet during a football game!

Here's the next frame taken during this big gain by Mitchell...left to right behind him are the following Jaguars: Trevor Schlangen (#85), unidentified #23, Abraham Peters (#10) and Kole Kampsen (#65)...

Dylan Kampsen (#52) suffered an injury that has kept him out of recent games.  He's supported the team in another way, by being a great motivator on the sidelines for his teammates.

I just realized I have a lot of coverage lately of the Youth Tackle football team and not as much as I should have of varsity teams. I'll work on changing that!

While on the subject of football, tonight is Friday Night Lights Part III, as the Jaguars entertain Holdingford at the high school sports complex. The Huskers are 1-1 after picking up their first win of the season in an upset 12-7 victory over state-ranked Pierz in Week 2.

This game is HUGE! The Jaguars have a great shot at climbing up the seven-team Section 4A standings, as they are one of three teams currently sitting in last place at 0-2. If the Jaguars could go at least 4-4, they will have a very good chance of earning a home playoff game in October.

 ...don't miss out on the Belgrade Hardware Hank's Grand Opening celebration that started yesterday and runs through tomorrow.
