The Minnewaska/B-B-E Bluejackets girls' golf team is heading to state! This is the second time in the two-year existence of the paired program that they are Section 3AA champions, the first coming in 2019. M/B-B-E's Annika Stensrud was the tournament medalist with an outstanding score of 75 (80-75-155 two day total) in the second round of action today at Buffalo Lake's golf course. The Bluejackets shot a score that was 75 shots better than runner-up Redwood Valley (686 compared to 751). B-B-E's Paige Rupp shot a 187, while Morgan Schwinghammer shot a 201. Both are juniors.

At Oak Creek golf course in Willmar today, the B-B-E Jaguars boys' golf team finished in fourth place at the Section 5A meet. It was a very competitive tournament, with the Jaguars finishing just 23 strokes behind first-place Benson. The Benson Braves are heading to state for the first time since 1978! Wow! They are coached by Belgrade high school graduate Roger Lindahl.

I had a wonderful evening at Crow River Lutheran church! It was magnificent!!! Details on the event were published on page one of the May 27 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.

More to come later tonight. 

**Update: the No. 3-seeded B-B-E Jaguars baseball team continues their journey in the playoffs when they travel to Clinton, Minnesota, tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon for a 2:30 p.m. semifinal game. Their opponent will be No. 2-seeded Upsala/Swanville Area, who the Jaguars lost to by a 1-0 score on May 20 in Elrosa.
