In a Section 6A match up with the Hancock Owls, the B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team played through an emotional Parents and Seniors Night on the home floor. While the night wasn't smooth, the result was what they wanted: B-B-E 3, Hancock 0. All three sets were close, and the Jaguars really didn't find their groove until the middle of the second set.
Game scores were 25-21, 25-20, 25-22.
Here's a video from the second set tonight against Hancock:
In game two, the Jaguars recovered from an 0-2 deficit and built a 12-6 lead. The Owls scored 4 straight points, but the Jaguars got back into system with an assisted block by Kadynce Haider and Kamie Fischer, Makenna Roelike's ace serve and a kill from McKinley Haider for a 16-10 lead. After the lead grew to 22-14, the teams traded side outs. Teagan Dingmann's kill made it a 23-15 lead, but the Owls went on a 5-0 run. A Hancock service error and an ace serve from Kacey Fischer finished off the set.
Here's the last few points scored in game two:
Now 13-5 overall, the Jaguars prepare for a tough Paynesville Area squad, who comes to Brooten on Thursday this week. It will be B-B-E's first Central Minnesota Conference action since September 18, when they won in Grove City.
Hancock, with a roster including 6 seniors, falls to 9-12 overall. They were scrappy the entire night, and their hitting looked strong when they were in system.
That's all for now. It appears that there's a 99% chance I have to add 2 more pages to this week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper. I have a long night ahead of me.
Please continue praying for B-B-E's students and staff.
On to Wednesday...the newspaper is off to the press...
It was a nailbiter, but the newspaper was completed and off to the press on schedule this morning. It was a tough one to put together. I did not have time to stretch it to 16 pages. Today will bring two big stops on my schedule: the girls' tennis playoffs at Long Prairie and Levi Adrian's visitation at the funeral home in Belgrade.
