Getting the win

The B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team won 54-44 on Friday night at Maple Lake. It was a great team win that improved their overall record to 6-11. Next: a tough game at Sauk Centre (13-4) on Tuesday, February 7. The Mainstreeters are reeling from two straight West Central Conference losses that took the momentum out of what was a six-game winning streak and also bounced them from the race for the WCC title.

Maple Lake falls to 5-12 overall and 3-5 in the CMC.
