In the "remarkable news" category...today, Sunday, the B-B-E Class of 2032 girls' basketball fourth grade team competed in the Region 3 Pacesetter tournament in Redwood Falls. With 11 players, they competed against five teams for a berth in the state tournament. They played incredible, incredible defense all day long. It was something you really had to see for yourself. In pool play against the eventual region champion, Hutchinson, the Jaguars lost 4-0. Hutchinson went on to defeat Yellow Medicine East by a score of 24-2 in the Region 3 championship game. Needless to say, the future is bright for this team!
Also coming this weekend...
The Belgrade Lions will host their annual Chili Cook-off fundraiser on Saturday, March 16 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Belgrade VFW. Details have been published in the past two issues of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.
On Tuesday...sad news! Mr. Keith Clementson passed away. He was one of my favorite teachers at B-B-E. You can see his obituary here: https://shorturl.at/bknR5. This news has weighed on me all day. He was a great man who cared deeply for his students. His daughters Susanne and Dawn were Belgrade-Elrosa high school graduates, while his daughter Amy graduated from B-B-E high school in 1991.
