Back-to-back conference champs!

With their 54-9 win over Royalton/Upsala in the book tonight, the No. 2-ranked B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team has earned back-to-back Central Minnesota Conference championships! This is awesome! The Jaguars defeated the Royals 54-9 to complete the CMC schedule with a 6-0 record for the second year in a row.

This is just the fifth time in B-B-E school history that they have earned a team conference title. Now B-B-E's first two teams, the 1996-1997 team and latest two teams have won titles in the 33-year history of the program.

The Jaguars (20-2) take on Ottertail Central (8-8) later tonight to finish the triangular.
