Once they got rolling tonight, the Jaguars volleyball team was hard to stop as they swept past a solid Kimball Area team tonight in the Central Minnesota Conference opener. Game scores were 25-10, 25-22, 25-15. In his post-game report, Coach Weller commented that the Cubs have a good-hitting team this year, and they showed that in game two by giving the Jaguars a back-and-forth battle. It was a nice win as well as an important win for B-B-E, as Kimball Area is a fellow Sub-Section 5A-South team.
Here's action from the end of game two tonight:
The Cubs fall to 2-2 overall, while the Jaguars are 2-0 (1-0 CMC) as they head to Marshall tomorrow for a 32-team tournament. They open with Wayzata at the college at 5:00pm.
**Update: in the Prairie Conference opener tonight, the Jaguars girls' tennis team made the long trip north to New York Mills and shut out the Eagles by a 7-0 score. Now 4-4 overall, the Jaguars host Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Upsala-Swanville Area next Monday at the high school courts in the second Prairie match of the year.
