Parents Night success!

The Jaguars welcome Adam Jaeger back to the huddle after he earned a pin in just 90 seconds at 138 pounds in tonight's win over Royalton/Upsala.

A great deal of energy and excitement was in the air tonight as the B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team hosted Royalton/Upsala for a non-conference dual meet on Parents Night. The crowd was huge! The student section was the biggest I've seen at a home wrestling meet. Awesome! The Jaguars jumped out to a 22-3 lead after Adam Jaeger stuck his guy at 138 pounds, and they held on after slipping in the middle weights to earn the last 12 points through forfeits. Wrestling final: B-B-E 35, Royalton/Upsala 21. The Jaguars are 12-3 heading into their final dual of the regular season next Tuesday at Sauk Centre/Melrose. They will be the number two seed (a strong hunch) for the upcoming Section 5A playoffs in February.

Girls' hoops: Jaguars 45, Rockets 41! At Rockford tonight, the B-B-E Jaguars girls' basketball team trailed 26-20 at halftime and proceeded to limit the Rockets to just 15 second-half points. Whew! They improve to 7-1 in the Central Minnesota Conference despite shooting just 32 percent (18-of-56) from the floor. This keeps them in first place in the CMC in a tie with Eden Valley-Watkins. The Eagles won at Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted in convincing fashion by a 63-35 score.

Fun fact: no B-B-E girls' basketball team has ever been 7-1 in the CMC. The best start in the first eight games in past seasons was 6-2 in the 2008-09 season.

Central Minnesota Conference girls' basketball scores on Jan. 29:
Maple Lake 56, Holdingford 49
Kimball Area 59, Pierz 54
