  • Punching their ticket, knocking down the door

    Nov 1, 2018

    An eight-year long drought is over at Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa. How sweet it is! On Saturday, November 3 at Little Falls high school, a battle of volleyball heavyweights played out for almost two hours for a fiercely-challenged outcome. When match point was achieved, the result was a 3-1 win in favor of the 10th-ranked B-B-E Jaguars volleyball team. They defeated No. 5-ranked and defending section champion Pine River-Backus 25-22, 25-20, 18-25, 25-20 to advance to state for the first time since...

The final tally showed 790 no votes to 736 yes votes. In November 2010, the district passed a levy referendum 735 yes to 636 no. That took place about a year-and-a-half after a...

  • Scouting Medford

    Nov 1, 2018

    A terrific battle is coming on Friday, November 9 at Xcel Energy Center. In the 3 p.m. Class 1A state semifinal match, the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars volleyball team faces Medford for a berth in the championship match. Medford, unseeded, was unfazed by the specter of two-time defending state champion and No. 2-seeded Mayer Lutheran in their Thursday quarterfinal match. The Tigers fell behind 2-1 in sets, but they came out on absolute fire in game four, led 6-0 early and proceeded to smoke...

    A welcome home ceremony was held tonight (Saturday, November 10) at the high school for the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Jaguars volleyball team. While the fourth-place outcome for state was not what they had worked so hard for and hoped so high for, the Jaguars have so much to be proud of. The list is long!

As announced early last week, the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa elementary school will host a Veterans Day program on Monday, November 12 at 10 a.m. at the main gymnasium.

The B-B-E high school Veterans Day program is at 1 p.m. today. At both programs, members of the B-B-E junior class who took first, second and third place in the...
