Brittany (Roelike) Borgerding, No. 17, high-fiving her teammates Taylor Gregory and Becca Gruber during the Section 5A championship match on November 3, 2012 in Pierz.
During her team's 48-42 win over Melrose Area on December 6, 2012, Brittany Roelike is shown in action dribbling out of defensive pressure applied by Tayler Reller. It was the home opener for her team during her senior season, and the win evened their record at 2-2 overall. On the coaching end of things, it was Anderson vs. Anderson! Yes, that night, Coach Chris Anderson was out-dueled by his wife Coach Kristina Anderson. (He got even with her the next year, with a 60-51 win for Melrose.)
Brittany (Roelike) Borgerding, B-B-E Class of 2013, will be one of three first grade teachers this year at B-B-E elementary. The approval was made this week as the first grade expanded from two to three sections.
Borgerding was a standout athlete for the Jaguars volleyball, girls' basketball and spring fastpitch teams during a four-year run on the varsity level of the athletic program. She was also the female Triple-A winner in her senior year.
*Below, a throwback to 2013! At about 35 seconds into the video, Borgerding (No. 10) cans a three-pointer from the right wing in the second half to narrow a deficit to 34-26 at Brandon-Evansville. Then at about 1:10 in the video, she stripped the ball away during a trap and earned a back court foul.
The video was taken during the Sub-Section 6A-South quarterfinals...a little over seven years ago. It was Coach Kristina Anderson's first season as head coach.
*Below, back to the fall of 2011! It was Borgerding's junior season of volleyball, with the Jaguars set to host MACCRAY in a non-conference match. She sang the National Anthem:
I've got one more video to post, trying to dig back in the archives to her sophomore year at B-B-E when they went to state in volleyball!
*AND here is one from 2010! This was the Section 5A championship night at Pierz Healy high school. It was an incredible night where the Jaguars survived four very tough sets against a red-hot, state-ranked Nevis team for a trip to the state tournament. Here, Borgerding knocks a kill from her left hitter position to clinch a 25-22 win in game one.
I remember that night like it was yesterday! And it was almost 10 years ago. Dang, that was FUN.
*Okay, last video, here's back to her senior year of volleyball...sub-section finals. She is No. 17 in the video, and this features the post-match celebration after the Jaguars finished the sweep of Upsala at Pierz.
Have a great weekend, Jaguar Country!
