Boys' golf team earns another trophy

This has been a great week for the B-B-E Jaguars boys' golf team. Today at the Ken Helling Invitational in Kimball, the Jaguars shot a 346 to take third place and come home with another team trophy. Brady Schwinghammer led the Jaguars with a 77, good for a tie for third place. Minnewaska's Zach Gugisberg was medalist with a 72. Osakis won the team title with a 328.

Tomorrow is a busy, busy day with the Max Bats Wood Bat invitational in Elrosa getting underway. The B-B-E Jaguars baseball team plays Sauk Centre at 7 p.m. at Saints Field. The Jaguars (4-3 overall) look to get back on the winning track after dropping a conference game to Eden Valley-Watkins on Monday. In the earlier game tomorrow in Elrosa, No. 10-ranked Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg faces Browerville at 4:30 p.m.

Also tomorrow in home action, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team hosts defending Central Minnesota Conference champion Maple Lake at 4 p.m. in Brooten. The fastpitch team (2-8 overall) is also gearing to get back on the winning track after they've suffered four straight losses in the past week. In the Sub-Section 3A-North standings, the Jaguars are holding firm in fourth place.

Here's video from last Saturday in Spring Hill in game 2 against Kimball:


In that video, Kaden DeRoo is closing during the top of the fifth inning for the baseball team in their doubleheader sweep of the Cubs. Their 4-3 record has them sitting in third place in the Sub-Section 6A-South standings behind Border West and K-M-S.

Here's video from the first inning in Tuesday's home fastpitch doubleheader just as the storm clouds were approaching town:


After the conclusion of the first inning as the Jaguars were set to take the field for the top of the second, the game was put on hold as rain started to fall and lightning appeared on the horizon. About two-tenths of an inch of rain fell over the next half hour, but game one resumed shortly after 5 p.m. It was great to be able to get both games in the book. Fastpitch playoffs are set to begin on Tuesday, May 23, and nine games remain on the regular season schedule.
