Jaguars claim share of CMC title..state send-off*

The B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team won a share of the Central Minnesota Conference title after they defeated Kimball Area on Tuesday night. This win combined with an upset 61-54 loss by front-runner Eden Valley-Watkins in Royalton lifted the Jaguars to a tie for first place in the final CMC standings. This marks a repeat title! Last year the Jaguars won a solo crown with a 13-1 record for Coach Anderson's first CMC title. 

Overall, the boys' basketball program has won 8 conference titles with numerous runner-up finishes. They won a 6-peat (crazy!) from 2008 through 2014 under Coach Dave Montbriand.

2023 CMC boys' hoops standings:
1. EV-W and B-B-E co-champs 12-2 each
3. Paynesville Area 11-3
4. Royalton 8-6
5. A-C-GC 6-8
6. Kimball Area 4-10
7. Holdingford 3-11
