A very active Jaguar defense is shown above...from early in the second half tonight.

At halftime of both the JV and varsity games tonight, the B-B-E Dazzlers dance team performed for the packed hometown crowd. Their competitive season starts next Saturday (Dec. 14) at Albany.

D-Mac called tonight's game on Smooth Magic 107 FM. It was his second broadcast of a B-B-E Jaguar varsity event for the winter season. He'll have Coach Montbriand on the air at 7:30am Saturday to talk shop on Smooth Magic's Coaches Roundup.
