GAME DAY! In Ramsey County, Grand Casino Arena! (VIDEOS)
This is the BIG DAY! This is the day prep volleyball players work towards throughout the year. It's the state tournament opener today for the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team. They are facing Mayer Lutheran tonight at 7 p.m. at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul.
Lakeland Broadcasting out of Willmar will have the Jaguars on the radio tonight. I have to confirm which station. INDEED! the match will be on 106.5 FM The Train. Spread the word! The Coop's Corner pre-match show with Lakeland's sports manager Jason Brandt starts at 6:45 p.m.
**The send off in Belgrade is at 12:30 p.m. today!!
This is the ninth overall state tournament trip for B-B-E's volleyball team. The first team played as Jaguars in 1988. The first team to play in a sub-section championship was the 1994 squad. The 1997 squad was the first team to win a sub-section or district title. Finally, in 2005, the Jaguars that season won the Section 6AA championship for the program's first state berth. That was B-B-E's only state tournament in Class 2A. The reclassifications for 2007 put them in Class 1A, and they played at state that year in the program's second-ever state tournament.
Let's go back 5 days and return to Fergus Falls! An exciting medals ceremony that night:
The Jaguars have played at Kennedy High School every fall since 2021. In 2021, 2022, 2025 and this year, they played two matches in the Section 6A tournament. They fell one match short of the section finals in 2023 and 2024 to West Central Area.
An enjoyable and memorable moment:
