Friday Night Lights V: Jaguars win Homecoming! (VIDEOS)

It's the first Homecoming win for B-B-E Jaguar football since 2017.

The Jaguars won 34-12 over Long Prairie-Grey Eagle to improve to 3-2 overall. After the Jaguars took a 22-0 lead, the teams traded touchdowns the rest of the way. The Jaguars are tied for fourth place with Browerville in the 10-team Sub-District III standings. In third place is U/SA. Tied for first are BOLD and Kimball Area (5-0 each).

I'm taking a break, and I will be back on this after 22:30 to add more notes plus video. It's been a long week. Well I crashed hard after the game. Updates coming on Saturday morning.

After the Jaguars took a 16-0 lead in the first quarter, they scored on a one play, six-yard touchdown drive with 6:38 left in the second quarter on a carry by Gavin Kampsen. The Jaguars had LP-GE pinned deep in their own territory, and a shanked punt gave B-B-E possession at the Thunder six. The two-point conversion pass fell incomplete to make the score B-B-E 22, LP-GE 0. You can see this touchdown and what followed in the video below (2nd quarter).

Here's video from the first half:

**Here's a video added on Saturday afternoon that features Easton Hagen's touchdown catch with just a few seconds left in the second quarter:


B-B-E led 28-6 at halftime.

The Jaguars held LP-GE (0-5) to 185 yards of offense and took advantage of three Thunder turnovers. LP-GE averaged 3.25 yards per play, while the Jaguars tallied 333 yards of offense with 5.05 yards per play. Luke Dingmann passed for 133 yards, and Gavin Kampsen ran for 116 yards.

Next: the Jaguars travel to Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City high school for Friday Night Lights VI on October 8. In their Week Five game at home, the Falcons lost 34-8 to Upsala/Swanville Area. The Patriots (4-1) jumped out to a 22-0 first quarter lead and never looked back. A-C-GC (2-3) then got on the scoreboard with Landon Blom's 11-yard run and Blom's two-point conversion run to make it 22-8. U/SA then added a second quarter score on Levi Lampert's interception return for a 28-8 halftime score. The Falcons were shut out in the second half. A-C-GC rushed for 186 yards and totaled 69 yards through the air. Blom was the leading rusher for all players with 131 yards on 26 carries.
