Seniors/Parents night

The B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team won 53-21 over Benson tonight in a home dual meet that was also Seniors/Parents night. Through 126 pounds, the Jaguars shot out to a 24-0 lead with pins from Blaine Fischer, Canon Swanson, Tyler Jensen and Tyler Bents. The wrestling team's next action is on Friday at the New London-Spicer invitational (3:30 p.m.).

At Howard-Lake-Waverly-Winsted, the B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team lost a tough one 48-46. The Lakers had a 27-21 halftime lead.

At once-beaten Parkers Prairie, the B-B-E Jaguars girls' basketball team won in convincing fashion by a 45-24 score. The Panthers fall to 9-2, while the Jaguars are now 8-5. The 24 points is one of the best defensive performances in school history for B-B-E.

The schedule hasn't really let up around here. We put out a 12-page issue this week at the Voice and expect to do it again next week. I ask that everyone take the time to read my feature story on a Brooten woman who survived harrowing experiences in war-torn Europe in 1945-1946. It was one of the most difficult stories I've ever written. Her story includes many life lessons!!!

On Wednesday night this week, our news department will be covering a B-B-E "district goals" planning meeting for parents and community members. That begins at 6 p.m. at the high school. I plan on recording it on video, but not live streaming it. Stay tuned!
