Jaguars completely throttle Huskers
The whole team saw action tonight in Holdingford. |
It was all B-B-E, all night long at Holdingford as our top-ranked Jaguars boys' basketball team mauled the Huskers by a final score of 73-32 in their 3rd Central Minnesota Conference game of the young season. The Jaguars, not letting up one bit with a 47-16 halftime lead, came out strong after halftime and blasted the Huskers with a quick 7-2 run and set the tone for the rest of the game.
A nice baseline shot by David Rodgers with 13 minutes left made it a 60-24 lead. With around 10 minutes to go, the Jaguars subbed in 5 players, and the starters were slowly pulled for good as running time went into effect. Holdingford falls to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in the CMC.
With Kimball Area losing tonight, the Jaguars are the only undefeated team in the CMC. (See scores below) It's way too early to talk "14-0" however, as I feel Rockford, Kimball and Eden Valley-Watkins all have quality teams. I also think the second time around with HL-W-W won't be a cupcake either, even with it being a home game.
Up next: two tough games in St. Cloud next Friday afternoon and Saturday night. I'll talk more about those games in the next few days.
Central MN Conference boys' BB scores on Dec. 19:
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted 73, Kimball Area 69 (quite a game at Kimball!)
**Don't miss out: a home girls' basketball game tomorrow night against 0-5 Maple Lake. Santa Claus will also be in town (Belgrade). Our Jaguar girls are 4-2 overall and definitely need to take out their frustration over tonight's loss at Osakis on the Irish tomorrow night.
Wrestling fans: make sure to make tracks to Eden Valley to see an important Section 5A quadrangular with EV-W, Osakis, our Jaguars wrestling team and Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. Action begins at 5:00pm. With a little luck, I'll catch some of the final matches and blog updates ASAP.
