Incredible afternoon in Jaguar Country!

How awesome is this!

Today at our high school, two Top-Five teams met on the mats. The No. 3-ranked B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team hosted No. 5-ranked Minnewaska Area. B-B-E built a 27-7 lead before the Lakers stormed back in the upper weights.

Ahead 27-22, B-B-E got a huge win by a 4-2 decision by senior Mark Jenniges at 220 pounds to clinch the team win! It was a terribly exciting afternoon. 

Final: #3 B-B-E 30, #5 Minnewaska 25.

And noteworthy! Mark Jenniges earned his 100th career win during the NL-S triangular last night. Great job! 

Below is a video interview of Coach Mueller following today's huge win. Thanks, coach, for your comments!

More video to come later. I am going to Bucky's Bar with family to celebrate this win!
