Spring sports season opener results (VIDEO)

We have competition underway for the spring sports season in Jaguar Country!

In the home track and field meet, Branton Jones took first place in the shot put with a best throw of over 37 feet, 9 1/2 inches. Jones, a junior, took second in the discus throw (118-07). Tiyana Schwinghammer was champion in the high jump (4-10). Olivia Thieschafer won the shot put (30-11). Other results will be published in this week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.

At St. Ben's University, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team lost 14-4 in five innings to the defending section champion Browerville Tigers. Browerville went 25-1 last year and finished as state runners-up.

At Regal, the B-B-E Jaguars baseball team beat Maple Lake 14-2 in five innings in game one of their double header. Ashton Dingmann and Tanner Shelton were B-B-E's pitchers. Game one was a very sloppy game, as Maple Lake had five errors to B-B-E's six errors.

**Update: the Jaguars won game two against Maple Lake by a 13-4 score. They overcame a whopping seven errors in the field by out-hitting the Irish by a 13 to 6 margin. B-B-E baseball takes a 2-0 record into the "deep freeze" that is coming this week. I doubt we'll see varsity competition again until after Easter.

**Here's a video clip from the track and field meet that features girls' long jump action:


Tiyana Schwinghammer ultimately placed second in the long jump (13-06).

More to come on Tuesday.
