Moments like these: priceless!

About one hour before tip off this morning, Coach Montbriand came out to the floor to greet some of the fans. Shown are a couple elementary basketball Jaguars enjoying the moment.

Fun fact: the father of these two elementary Jaguars was a star player on the first B-B-E team to play in a section championship (Class of 1997, section final loss to eventual state champion Hancock)...and their uncle was B-B-E's first boys 1,000-point scorer.

"Hey Tanner, let's go win a state championship!" (starter introductions)

Football players-turned-cheerleaders!!

...and finally we get to tip off!! The start of the end of a magical ride.

I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but GREAT JOB Jaguar fans!! The student section came through when we needed them! Bravo! Tonight during the welcome-home ceremony, I went to the "ringleader" (Mary) and told her she's my hero!!

VIDEO!


I'm going through over 800 pictures from today. I can sleep next week! (I've got 164 uploaded as of 22:26...gotta take a break now)

For heaven's sakes what a day it's been...while thousands of us were down at Target Center watching the basketball tournament, two other awesome things took place.
1) the B-B-E speech team took first place (with just 12 speechers) in Morris out of 12 teams!
2) the elementary Jaguar wrestlers qualified for the NYWA state wrestling tournament for the first time in school history!! They were in Pierz today for the youth regional tournament.
