GAME NIGHT! In Grant County (VIDEO)

We have a big, BIG game on hand! Tonight, in Grant County, the B-B-E Jaguars football team looks to hand West Central Area their second loss of the season. The Jaguars and Knights square off at WCA High School in Barrett with a 7 p.m. kickoff. It's going to be a COLD game! At least the wind is dying down. The low tonight is going down to 40 degrees locally. Yikes! As of 5 p.m. in Brooten, the temperature outside is 55 degrees and dropping.

WCA lost 28-14 in their season opener last week at Lake Park-Audubon; however, I expect a tough game tonight. WCA is always strong on their home field.

Here's a video featuring the Jaguars praying The Lord's Prayer before kickoff in the season opener:


Game updates to follow!

Halftime: B-B-E 6, WCA 0. This game is a battle!

In the third quarter, the Knights took an 8-6 lead...with 5 minutes to go. Their touchdown drive was filled with big plays as they drove 70 yards for pay dirt. The Knights overcame a holding penalty early in the drive by using multiple receptions good for 9, 14, 15 and 15 yards plus shorter receiving gains. With 5:01 on the clock, WCA tied the game with an 8-yard touchdown carry. Their 2-point conversion was good via a reception with their receiver all alone in the right flats. The score became WCA 8, B-B-E 6.

It's time to head home. The final score will be posted in the Friday Night Lights II blog post later tonight.
