Friday Night Lights VII: rough first half dooms Jaguars

A rough first half where any few moments of positive signs were nullified by costly mistakes led to a big halftime deficit for the B-B-E Jaguars football team. In their Week Seven match up, also Parents Night, the Jaguars trailed 29-0 to an all-around solid Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg team.

Final score: K-M-S 42, B-B-E 6. The Fighting Saints (6-1, second in Sub-District III) rolled up 403 yards of offense.

Next is a road game in Swanville on Wednesday, October 17 to round out the regular season. The opponent will be Upsala/Swanville Area.
