Wrestling team second at NL-S

By the smallest of margins, the B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team missed out on earning the championship at the New London-Spicer tournament on Friday night. Glencoe-Silver Lake/Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity, a Class 2A program, edged the Jaguars by just two and a half points to take first place.

Of the 13 wrestlers competing for B-B-E in the varsity division, 12 earned medals. Of the 12 medalists, 11 placed in the final four. That is very awesome!

Next is a tough dual at Holdingford for the team's fifth Central Minnesota Conference match of the season.

Here's some video from Friday night:


At Rockford on Friday night, the B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team lost 92-61 to the Rockets in their final basketball trip ever to that school. They play at Browerville (7-7) at 5 p.m. on Saturday. The girls' basketball team follows with a game at once-beaten Browerville at 6:30 p.m.

Good luck today to the B-B-E Dazzlers dance team as they compete at the Yellow Medicine East invitational.
