Belle Plaine at Jordan
7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 10

Belle Plaine has won the last three Class 2A, Section 2 titles and defeated Jordan each time at some point during the section playoffs. The last time Jordan defeated Belle Plaine was the 2011 section finals.

The Tigers are coming off a straight-set win over LeSueur-Henderson, led by junior outside hitter Mariena Hayden’s 11 kills. This contest is the second in a four-game “road trip” for the Tigers. 

Jordan (1-2) continues its gauntlet of an early schedule, having already lost to No. 6-3A Hopkins and No. 5-2A New Life Academy before facing No. 8-1A Waterville-Elysian-Morristown on Sept. 8 and finishing with No. 1-2A Belle Plaine. The No. 7-2A Jaguars should have no trouble dialing up the energy for this game as their history with Belle Plaine stretches beyond the regular season.
