| Greatest football fans in central Minnesota! So proud of them and the fantastic cheering they displayed. |

| The coaches and players gather at the end of the field with their 3rd straight Homecoming win. |
And another great sight: Kollman battering the Lakers defense last night:

| Austin Kollman runs for a big gain in the first quarter against HL-W-W. |
Austin Kollman ran in both second-half touchdowns for the Jaguars football team. They earned a second-half shut out against a conference opponent for the 2nd time in a row. Now THAT was fun!
Kollman shattered Austin Kampsen's single-game rushing record that stood since October 12, 2007 when Kampsen battered the Holdingford Huskers defense to the tune of 288 rushing yards in a 29-26 win. (That night was fun too!) Kampsen had 33 carries, and he broke Jordan Weller's single-game record at the time. Weller ran for 279 yards on Homecoming night, September 30, 2005 when the Jaguars beat Kimball Area 39-26.

I just read that A-C-GC had a 20-0 lead in Paynesville last night before caving in the 2nd half. The Bulldogs erupted with a flurry of offense while outscoring the Falcons 24-7 in the fourth quarter. Whew! The Bulldogs led 32-20 before the Falcons got a late touchdown and PAT to get within five for the final score. Paynesville is 4-0 and will likely move up in the Class AA rankings. They won in spite of 3 lost fumbles and 1 interception while A-C-GC had no interceptions and only one lost fumble.
Which reminds me, back to the Jaguars...if memory serves me right, last night's Homecoming game had no turnovers (NOPE wrong!). It was a real smashmouth, rock 'em sock 'em type of game. HL-W-W looked nothing like they've been the last 2-3 years. They really held their blocks, and their quarterback (Joe Aalid) played a near flawless game. Luckily for Jaguar fans, our team was just plain better in the second half and didn't dig a big hole before halftime either.
Here's the National Anthem! Sung by a B-B-E choir and football team member, Kayle Benesh (Class of 2017)...
B-B-E is now 3-1 overall for only the 2nd time in school history (2-1 Central MN Conf.)...HL-W-W is 2-2 overall and 1-2 in the CMC. The last time the Jaguars won 3 of their first 4 games, it was 1988, and Dennis Weimerskirch/Julius Evenson were at the helm of the program. They finished 7-1 before playoffs, won the Prairie Lakes Conference and went 1-1 in the Section 4B playoffs. Their 8-2 final record stands to this day as the best football record ever at B-B-E.
