It was a good night for Jaguar teams on one of the coldest nights of the winter. (And coldest by far so far in 2022!)
The B-B-E Jaguars boys’ basketball team defeated Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City 68-56 in a rough-and-tumble Central Minnesota Conference game tonight. The Jaguars, who led 37-26 at halftime, pushed the lead to 48-28 with 15:15 left in the second half and later 59-39 with 8:42 to go. The Falcons, who fell to 2-6 overall, rallied in the closing minutes but were unable to get within single digits.
The Jaguars shot 43 percent from the field and were 19-of-31 from the free throw line.

In a triangular at Holdingford, the B-B-E Jaguars wrestling team won two more duals to improve to 7-0 overall. The Jaguars beat Holdingford 44-24 before defeating Albany Area 49-21. They are excited to see a huge crowd of hometown fans attend their Jaguar Invitational tomorrow at the high school. Action begins at 2:30 p.m. Teams included are Becker, Eden Valley-Watkins, Frazee, Ottertail Central, Quad County, Red Rock Central and Wabasso.
**UPDATE: B-B-E schools will open two hours late for the third day in a row. It's that time of year.
