Powered by Jordan Wosmek's 23 points, B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team pulled away from Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg in the second half and posted a 57-36 win in a non-conference border battle. At halftime, the Dazzlers varsity jazz squad performed.
Tonight was the first meeting of these two teams in the hardwood since December 2010. In the 2007-2008 season, a pretty solid K-M-S team beat the Jaguars in the season opener 74-67.
Next is Pierz (1-2, 0-1) at home tomorrow night. Kimball Area beat Pierz 75-54 in Kimball on Tuesday night. *The Train 106.5 FM will carry the Pierz game. Pass the word.
