Update in the second half...with about 5 minutes to go, the Jaguars hold a 47-34 lead. FINAL: B-B-E 53, A-C-GC 34. Time to head home. This blog post will be revamped with a new look later tonight that features game video and a game recap. Those of us who were at the game are all shell-shocked at seeing one of our players go down and have to leave the game. That was very, very tough to see. We are all praying for her recovery.

The Jaguars had very balanced scoring with eight players finding the scoring column. They were led by Harley Roering's 12 points on four three-pointers. AsThey shot an ice-cold 25 percent on field goals in the second half.
