The B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team struggled all night in a 54-36 loss at Kimball Area tonight. They trailed 24-11 at halftime.
At Pierz, the B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team won 62-6 over Howard-Lake-Waverly-Winsted. In the second dual against the host Pioneers, the Jaguars lost 44-14 to get to 6-2 overall. Next is a Parents Night/Seniors Night home dual meet on Tuesday, January 17 against Benson, who is also a Section 5A team.
How is this for a very COOL piece of history! In this week's Bonanza Valley Voice that just hit the newsstands (Jan. 12 issue), I have a feature article on Mr. Wayne Schoeppach, who taught science from 1965 to 1992 at Belgrade, Belgrade-Elrosa and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa schools. For a brief period early in his career, he also taught shop (woods) and coached basketball. Tonight I learned that in his second year at Belgrade (1966-1967), Schoeppach coached Bill Dean in seventh grade basketball.
Bill Dean (Belgrade Class of 1972) was in Kimball tonight broadcasting the game with his trusty sidekick, Don Leukam.
