The Jaguars wrestling team improves to 6-11 overall with the win; they travel to Albany tomorrow (Friday) for a 7-team tournament. That's the last tune-up before the Jaguars gear up for the Section 5A team tournament. They open playoffs next Tuesday against Osakis at a site to be determined. I sure hope it's nearby, as I really want to attend that match. B-B-E is the #6 seed, while the Silverstreaks are the #3 seed.
Prairie Valley is 9-19 and moves on to Section 6A for playoff action.

1st Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City

The Jaguars boys' basketball team has a 62-29 lead with 13 minutes left in the game against Eden Valley-Watkins. Final: B-B-E 79, EV-W 42. The Jaguars move to 10-0 in the Central Minnesota Conference, while the Eagles fall to 11-7 overall and 5-5 in the CMC.
Here's some video from the second half of the varsity boys' basketball game:
The Jaguars (19-1) now have one day of practice to prepare for a tough non-conference border battle with Sauk Centre, one of the top teams in Section 6AA. Sauk Centre head coach Mike Ellens has always had his team ready to face our Jaguars in the last four years while he's been guiding their program. I expect a very, very good game that you won't want to miss. The Mainstreeters are 13-5 overall and 7-3 (3rd) in the West Central North Conference; they host Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta tomorrow night.
