Here's where I'll get a few things posted that have been clogging up my office desk in the past week.
Remember that tomorrow, Monday, the B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team faces Hancock in the sub-section semifinals at Minnewaska Area high school. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. The Owls hold a 13-13 overall record. In the Little Eight Conference, the Owls went 8-8 to finish in fourth place. They average 63.9 points per game on offense and have a defensive average of 64.4 points given up per game.
The B-B-E community has numerous events coming up! One is the St. Patrick's Day event in Padua on Friday, March 17...you can see the full listing of events by clicking over to the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website: https://www.bonanzavalleyvoice.com/page/bonanza-valley-area-community-calendar/102.html.
For those of you who can't make it to the state basketball tournament and plan to be around home next Friday, March 17, there is the big St. Patrick's Day events in Padua as well as the Knights of Columbus fish fry that evening at the KaDe Shack in Brooten. Just a couple things to keep in mind!

B-B-E robotics had just completed their first competition match at the Grand Forks regional and was busy troubleshooting and fixing what went wrong with the robot.
