Fueled by a sweep at doubles play, the B-B-E Jaguars girls' tennis team picked up their second win of the season today on the home courts against St. John's Prep. The final score was 5-2, a great win for the team and program on what was also Parents and Senior night. The team's only senior, Presley Detloff, was honored by Coach Hanna during pre-game starter introductions.
Here's a video from right after the end of the No. 3 doubles match:
The Jaguars held a 3-2 lead in team points with No. 3 doubles and No. 3 singles still in play. The win was still up for grabs with Izzy Graham battling at singles and Arlee Tensen and Grace Berndt zeroing in on a win at doubles play. Tensen and Berndt took their match in straight sets, winning the second set by a 6-3 score, to hand B-B-E their second win of the season.

NEXT: the Jaguars host their second straight Prairie Conference match with Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Upsala-Swanville Area coming to town this Thursday (4:30 p.m.).
THURSDAY update...
Videos and more will be added to this blog post on Thursday. Tuesday night and Wednesday were jammed up with newspaper-related work! I am thrilled to have learned from Brad Danielson that turnout was outstanding at the third annual Monson Lake Grand Opry music festival on Saturday in Hayes Township, rural Sunburg. That event was heavily promoted in the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper in the weeks leading up to the event. I never made it out there...the $4 a gallon gas is biting down hard on newspaper operations. Having a light sports week this week has helped our sports department's budget, plus a home football game is coming tomorrow (Friday)...Also! Don't forget about the Farmers Market in Brooten runs from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the city park on Thursday.
Also Thursday night: the volleyball team competes at Kimball Area. The match might be streamed on YouTube. I will look for that and get a new blog post added.
