Final score: Benson 7, B-B-E 6. The season has concluded. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of the players and coaches on the team! Regardless of their win total for the season, I am honored by the privilege of covering them. They battled with all they had today to the very last out. Through the entire season, they were always in good spirits, cheery, friendly and grateful for the opportunity to compete in spite of the challenges they faced. They have earned my full admiration for all their efforts.
The B-B-E Jaguars baseball team won 10-0 in five innings over No. 6-seeded Ortonville on the home diamond in Elrosa in the Sub-Section 6A-South quarterfinals tonight. They advance to Thursday's sub-section semifinal round to be played at Clinton, Minnesota. Info TBA. Time to get back to the office.

It's also noteworthy that U/SA was co-champions of the Prairie Conference this spring with Long Prairie-Grey Eagle. They both went 7-1 in the league. Browerville and Osakis tied for second place with 3-5 records, while St. John's Prep finished in fifth place at 0-8.
