Friday Night Lights IV: Jaguars post statement win! (VIDEOS)

A great week of practice, time spent on game film and an outstanding effort all came together to hand the B-B-E Jaguars football team a statement 30-0 shutout win against visiting Browerville. This improves their overall record to 3-1, and they sit in a 5-way tie for second place in the Mid-Northwest Gold District with a 2-1 record. B-B-E also started 3-1 in the 1988, 2013, 2017 and 2022 seasons.

Kameron Hiltner caught two touchdowns in the first half, one in each quarter. After the second quarter touchdown, Jesse Niklaus ran in the conversion for a 14-0 lead.

Here's a video from B-B-E's first offensive series of the game:


Browerville suffered a lost fumble on the game's very first play. They were set up on their own 37-yard line, and the lost fumble was recovered with 11:40 on the clock at Browerville's 41-yard line. The Jaguars later had first down on Browerville's 23, but they stalled out 3 plays later on a 4th-and-4 pass that fell incomplete with 9:32 left in the first quarter.

In the third quarter, Noah Kampsen had a 7-yard touchdown carry with 6:18 left. Niklaus ran in the conversion for a 22-0 lead. The touchdown run by Kampsen capped an 11-play, 63-yard drive.

It was exactly what the team needed to put the Week Three loss at Swanville behind them. The Jaguars posted over 400 yards of offense while scoring on 4 out of 9 offensive drives. The JV Jaguars took over in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. They were bearing down on an additional touchdown, and with 1:02 on the clock, quarterback Walker Winter took a knee to end the game at the Browerville 28-yard line.

B-B-E totaled 431 yards of offense on 63 plays. They held Browerville to just 55 yards of offense on 39 plays. Aiden Mueller passed for 206 yards, and Jesse Niklaus ran for 151 yards.

Browerville suffered three lost fumbles in the first half, which was a major factor in B-B-E building their 14-0 halftime lead.

B-B-E went 8-for-13 on third down conversions, while the Tigers were 1-for-10 on third down tries.

The Jaguars now prepare for Homecoming week with Maple Lake coming to town. Game time is at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 26. Maple Lake is tough this year! They are not the pushover teams that they fielded in 2022, 2023 and 2024. It will be a tough game.

Update: tonight in Maple Lake, the Irish thrashed Benson 38-14. They are 3-1 and having their best season since 2019, when they finished 7-3.
