The Pirates (0-3) host Laurel-Concord-Coleridge (2-0) Friday night.
The Bears beat Crofton 69-60 at home this past Friday night before downing Homer 65-17 at home Tuesday night.
Laurel-Concord-Coleridge has played good basketball so far this season, and has to keep playing well to beat Emerson-Hubbard.
The Pirates are getting better, and I think they have a chance to be very competitive against the Bears.
Emerson-Hubbard has to try and slow down Dillan Wolfgram, Jayden Reifenrath, and Jordan Jansen.
Those three scored in double figures against the Warriors, and appear to be good players.
Haberman, Emmons, and Ostrand need to have big games for the Pirates, and must carry and will this team to victory.
Emerson-Hubbard has their work cut out for them, there's no doubt about it, but I look for the Pirates to step up and rise to the occasion.
This team has made a lot of positive strides so far this season, and I suspect Emerson-Hubbard will play even better Friday night than they have all season.
Win or lose, it should be a night of positives for the Pirates of Emerson-Hubbard.

The Pirates (2-1) host Laurel-Concord-Coleridge (0-2) Friday night.
The Bears lost 70-24 to Crofton in their opener this past Friday night before losing 44-40 to Homer Tuesday night.
Laurel-Concord-Coleridge hasn't had the best season by any means, but Emerson-Hubbard can't afford to take the Bears lightly.
The Pirates have to come ready to play, and must play a complete, four quarter game.
Emerson-Hubbard has to get off to a fast start and never look back.
It has to be an outstanding performance from the Pirates all the way around.
Emerson-Hubbard has Hartington-Newcastle on Monday so this is an important game for the Pirates in terms of building momentum for that contest.
Emerson-Hubbard has to play to win, not play not to lose.
The Pirates must execute at a high level and stay out of foul trouble. The last thing Emerson-Hubbard wants to do is put Laurel-Concord-Coleridge on the line and give the Bears opportunities to convert at the stripe.
I look for the Pirates to come out and play well, and win big. I think Emerson-Hubbard will run away with things.
