Homecoming Day IV! Another exciting day underway - and tennis wins!

We're having another incredible day of Homecoming excitement in Jaguar Country!

At Clara City tonight vs. MACCRAY/Renville County West in their last regular season match, the B-B-E Jaguars girls' tennis team earned a convincing 5-2 win over the Wolverines. I know the Jaguars had wins at No. 2 singles (Bree Thieschafer in straight sets) plus No. 3 doubles (Olive Olson and Hannah Wurm). This improves their overall record to 4-11 as they prepare for the Section 6A playoffs. It's also their best regular season record since 2021! Playoff seeding takes place on Monday, so the Jaguars won't know what the playoff road looks like until that night. Section 6A includes 9 teams, and currently, the Jaguars sit in the No. 7 or No. 8 range.

Other tennis wins against MACCRAY/RCW came at No. 1 singles (Hannah Hirman), No. 3 singles (Izzy Graham) plus No. 1 doubles (Grace Berndt and Ellan Fischer).

I also heard that the 7th/8th grade junior high football Jaguars lost a heartbreaker to Long Prairie-Grey Eagle by a 14-12 score in double overtime. A crazy tough loss, but they played a great game. Coach Funk reported that the Jaguars trailed 6-0 with a minute to go in regulation. They tied it with a 70-yard touchdown pass to force the first overtime.

More to come after tonight's varsity volleyball match. Our Jaguars are hosting Eden Valley-Watkins, who enter the night with a 3-10 record. They are ranked No. 4 as of this week in Sub-Section 3AA-North.

Volleyball update...the Jaguars and Eagles are heading into game four. The Jaguars hold a 2-1 set lead. **Final scores in a new blog post.
