Jaguars fire on all cylinders at K-M-S (VIDEOS)

This is the right time to gain momentum for a high school sports team!

At non-conference Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg on Monday night, the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team earned a 3-0 sweep against the Fighting Saints to improve to 17-6 overall. Game scores were 25-16, 25-19, 25-18. They have just 3 regular season matches left on the schedule, and they are all Central Minnesota Conference contests. Next: the Jaguars travel to first-place Royalton on Thursday this week. The Jaguars are in a virtual tie for first place in the CMC, but the Royals are technically ahead by a "half match." (Sports writer lingo.) The winner will be in the driver's seat for earning a solo CMC title.

Against K-M-S, the Jaguars had a 21.7 percent hitting mark, and they were led by Kacey Fischer's 18 kills on 31.7 percent hitting. Macey Roering had 2 ace serves, and Kenna Lieser earned a team-high 14 digs.

The Fighting Saints fall to 6-13 overall.

Here's a video from the Paynesville match last Thursday; this is from the 1st set that went far into extra points!


That video began with the Jaguars trailing 23-22 in game one. The Bulldogs are 6-14 overall and 2-3 in the Central Minnesota Conference.
