Section playoff semifinals set (VIDEOS*)

A video was added here late on Wednesday afternoon...

The last four teams standing in Section 4A are now set. In tonight's quarterfinal round, the Browerville Tigers defeated visiting Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 43-14. This means that our B-B-E Jaguars football team knows its opponent for their playoff opener. The Jaguars (7-1) and Browerville (6-3) will meet in the Section 4A semifinals this Saturday, October 26 at 2 p.m. at our house at the B-B-E high school football stadium.

Here's a video from the first quarter during Friday Night Lights VIII in Murdock:


I posted that video last weekend, but it hasn't gotten many views yet. Now I return to publishing the October 24 newspaper issue. Additional notes will be added to this blog post on Wednesday morning.

The Jaguars were on defense at the beginning of that video.
