Sports schedule changes: fastpitch moved to THURSDAY! (VIDEO)
Quite a bit to catch up on, but all I have time to post right now is the following.
Due to the rain in the forecast for tomorrow, the B-B-E Jaguars fastpitch team will open the Sub-Section 3A-North playoffs on Thursday this week, NOT Wednesday. This is due to other schools having academic and activity-related conflicts on Wednesday. The Jaguars will host three games on Wednesday at the home diamond in Brooten. First is a game between the Jaguars and No. 7-seeded Ortonville (5-14) with a 3 p.m. start time. Then the next two games will follow as outlined last week in the schedule.
The baseball team will also not play tomorrow, and their game against Long Prairie-Grey Eagle will be played on Thursday in Upsala as part of what is now a doubleheader. More details to follow.
Tuesday afternoon update: the home fastpitch diamond has covers across home plate and the pitcher's circle. The infield has a ton of water on it due to sometimes heavy rainfall coming down. It's wet out there!!!
Another announcement: the sub-section track and field meet set in Maple Lake for today has been postponed until Thursday this week.
Here's a video from the last fastpitch game of the regular season, which was last Thursday:
More to come later tonight. The 20-page newspaper is coming along!!
