Today was pep fest day! And more (VIDEOS! Sports Show #8)

What an exciting time to be a part of the Jaguar Country community!! This is hard to beat! Our B-B-E Jaguars football team is gearing up for the state tournament for the second time in school history! Today they were part of two awesome, exciting pep fests held at both buildings. The schools also held wonderful Veterans Day programs.

Here's a short video clip from this afternoon's elementary school pep fest:


**Here's a "touchdown" dance (or dances) by Maximus Hanson, which officially concluded the excitement of the day!


Other video will be added later tonight, including another installation of my Fall Sports Shows!. It's still the work day! And there's musical coverage to continue working on.

*Here's the 8th sports show of this fall season...and I sure hope it continues!!!!


I'm at musical rehearsal tonight. The show is coming along nicely!!!! This is going to be exciting to watch.

UPDATE from the state volleyball tournament...West Central Area lost a 3-2 match in the state quarterfinals to fall into the consolation bracket. New Life Academy advances to face No. 1-seeded Russel-Tyler-Ruthton in the state semis. WCA faces Section 5A champion Pine River-Backus in the consolation semifinals at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Xcel Energy Center. NLA won game five by a 15-12 margin. Mya Foslien led the Knights with a 28-kill performance. The match was incredibly close. One example: both teams had 21 attacks in game five and just two attack errors each. The difference was who finished better: NLA had 11 kills on their 21 attacks (43%), while WCA had 7 kills on their 21 attacks (24%). It's very, very tough to lose a set when you have a solid 24 percent hitting ratio in volleyball.

The other upper seeds in Class 1A all won via sweep: R-T-R, Mayer Lutheran and Mabel-Canton. In their quarterfinal match, R-T-R overwhelmed PR-B with 40 kills compared to just 17 by Tigers hitters.
