6th grade girls win K-M-S tournament

An excited, proud group of 6th grade girls' basketball Jaguars gathered for a combined photo after they won the K-M-S tournament on Saturday.

Pretty amazing...the 6th grade girls' basketball Jaguars, split into two teams, battled through separate brackets of the Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg tournament on Saturday and ultimately met in the championship game.

It got even more interesting at that point. The championship game ended in a 12-12 tie, so instead of duking it out in an overtime period, they ultimately settled as co-champions while bringing the trophy home to display at the elementary trophy case. Nice work Jaguars!!!

Here's a run down of some of the scores:
The B-B-E Blue team beat Benson 27-10 in the opener and then Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart 22-21 in a nailbiter in the semifinals to send them into the title game. The B-B-E Silver team clipped Dawson-Boyd 16-14 in the opener and then won by a wide margin in the semifinals to land a spot in the title game.
