GAME DAY! In Jaguar Country: the calm before the storm (VIDEO)

This is the calm before the storm as a huge, huge playoff game is set on our field today. The B-B-E Jaguars football team will host Ashby/Brandon-Evansville at 2 p.m. in Belgrade in the Section 5A semifinals. The Glenwood radio station will be covering the Minnewaska Area home football game today, which also has a 2 p.m. kickoff. I will do my best to post blog updates here.

About our opponent:
The A/B-E Bolts are 5-4 overall after giving a 42-14 thrashing to West Central Area in Brandon on Tuesday night. That Section 5A quarterfinal had a halftime score of 14-14. In that game, sophomore quarterback Evan Dingwall ran for 112 yards while earning 14-of-22 passing marks for 243 yards with 2 touchdowns. The Bolts were good on 8 out of 13 third down conversion attempts. Those are outstanding figures in a playoff game. Seth Thoennes, their star wide receiver, caught 9 passes for 103 yards. Andrew Scott was another main target for Dingwall, and he had 2 catches for 70 yards.

I have to circle back to button up my last volleyball post before adding to this one.

Here's a video from the first quarter in Week 8 at Brandon on October 15:


Time to pack up for the big game! After a stop at the Trinity Lutheran Church Fall Bazaar in Brooten. That ends at 1 p.m.

**After the first quarter, the score is 0-0.

Halftime: BBE 6, A/BE 0.

 The second half is starting at 15:14.

**This is a nail biter going down to the wire.
