GAME DAY! Heading to the 'Ship! (VIDEO, UPDATES*)

Match updates will be posted here after 8 p.m. at the bottom of this blog post. Share the link to this blog so others can see!

It is game day again, and this time it's not game day in Jaguar Country. Instead, we are making plans for a trip north on I-94 to the city of Fergus Falls (population 14,029) for the Sub-Section 6A-South championship. Our B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team is geared up for the No. 2-seeded Brandon-Evansville Chargers. The match will start no earlier than 7:30 p.m., and it likely will not get going until 8 p.m. at Fergus Falls high school.

Click on the video to learn more about today's agenda! I am recovering from an embarrassing mistake right on page one of my sports section this week in The Voice where I failed to change a sub-headline box when I got the volleyball story started. Such is life in the fast lane. I have to shake it off and move on.

Tonight's match will not be aired on the Glenwood radio station. Brady will be tied up at New London-Spicer high school for the Sub-Section 3AA-North championship between No. 6-seeded Minnewaska Area and No. 1-seeded Paynesville Area. I hope to get match updates posted on *this* blog post after 8 p.m. Stay tuned!

UPDATE from Fergus Falls: **Henning swept in the first subsection final of the night, has the Hornets defeated Breckenridge to advance to the section finals. Game scores were 25-19, 25-21, 25-21. The Hornets led 20-17 in game two before the Cowgirls tied it at 21-21. Henning took the last four points of the set to take a 2-0 lead in games. In game three, Breckenridge came out on fire and jumped in front 7-1 thanks to four early kills by Abby Johnson. The Hornets fought back to tie it up at 14-14, and a neck-and-neck battle followed. Henning had too much firepower down the stretch as they avenged last year's subsection finals loss to move on to the Section 6A championship. One year ago in the same match in the same gym, Breckenridge won a barn burner 3-2 thriller before they beat our Jaguars out of the tournament two nights later (also a 3-2 barn burner).

The B-B-E vs. Brandon-Evansville match should begin at approximately 7:58 p.m. depending on how long player introductions take.

**Update: the Jaguars have a 9-3 lead early in game one.

The Jaguars won 25 to 18 in the opening set.

Game 2 update: the Jaguars have a 15 to 7 lead. *And now the Jaguars have a 20 to 15 lead in game two. **Game 2 final: BBE 25, Brandon-Evansville 20.

Game three: the Jaguars are ahead 11-7. *Updates in a new blog post.
