Girls' basketball is on the radio; Jaguars hammer Cardinals

Smooth Magic 107 FM has the call tonight with Brady Erdmann covering the B-B-E Jaguars girls' basketball team's game at Upsala. They broadcast on 107.1 FM on the radio and online at their website: https://www.kmgk1071.com. The Cardinals are 0-1 on the season after losing at home to their neighbors to the north, Little Falls, by a 70-33 score on Tuesday.

At halftime, the Jaguars are ahead 36-22. Tiffany Dingmann is leading the Jaguars with 10 points, and Mya Worms has scored 9 as the next top scorer.

B-B-E pounded on Upsala in the opening minutes of the second half. The Cardinals scored the first bucket after halftime, but the Jaguars scored 8 straight to go up 44-24. It was all B-B-E from that point on.

Final score: B-B-E 78, Upsala 43. The Jaguars (2-0) had 5 players in double figures! Other teams are going to have to pick their poison, because the Jaguars have multiple shooters on the floor at any given time. Excellent three-point shooting was a key to the win. The Jaguars connected on 8 out of 17 shots beyond the arc. Overall, they shot 43 percent on field goals while going 11-for-19 at the free throw line.

Next: the Jaguars host Brandon-Evansville on Saturday with games going all afternoon at the high school. It is a boys/girls doubleheader with the Chargers as the team also has their Hoops For Hope cancer awareness fundraiser.

The River Lakes Stars girls' hockey team has had a strong start to the 2025-2026 season. They currently hold a 4-3-1 overall record after an exciting 3-2 win at Sartell/Sauk Rapids-Rice on Tuesday in Sartell. This also raised their Central Lakes Conference record to 2-0.
