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.
