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
8. Maple Lake 0-14

The Jaguars (21-4) host Hancock to close out the regular season on Friday this week. It will also be seniors night.

*UPDATE: B-B-E schools will start 2 hours late on Wednesday, March 1.

**Another update: school is closed for the day. A makeup date will be announced. And school will be in session on Friday March 10, making next week a 5-day week.

*Wrestling news: the team will be sent off at 12:15 p.m., when they leave the high school today and head to St. Paul. This was moved up due to the weather. They will make one swing through Belgrade.
