The Bancroft-Rosalie Boys continue to struggle as the Panthers lost 49-37 at Ponca Friday night before falling 80-50 at home to Winnebago Tuesday night.
Ponca jumped out to a 16-6 lead at the end of one. Bancroft-Rosalie outscored the Indians 17-5 in the second quarter to take a 23-21 lead into the locker room.
Ponca won the third quarter 17-8 to go up 38-31 at the end of three.
The Indians notched 11 fourth quarter points compared to 6 for the Panthers.
Aaron Ras had a team-high 9 points and 7 rebounds. Mario Aldrich added 8 points while Dayne Wortman scored 7.
Winnebago jumped on Bancroft-Rosalie and led 21-5 after one. The Indians outscored the Panthers 26-8 in the second quarter to go up 47-13 at halftime.
Winnebago won the third quarter 25-12 to lead 72-25 at the end of three.
Bancroft-Rosalie notched 25 fourth quarter points and held the Indians to 8.
Aldrich had a team-high 18 points while Jacob Zuhlke totaled 9. Ras recorded 7 points and 7 rebounds while Wortman notched 7 points.
There's potential in this team as the Panthers showed in the second quarter of the Ponca game and the fourth quarter of the Winnebago game.
Bancroft-Rosalie (8-8) battles West Point-Beemer (7-11) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament in West Point on Saturday.
The Cadets lost 53-38 at Pierce Tuesday night, but beat the Panthers 45-42 in Bancroft on Saturday, January 9th.
Bancroft-Rosalie is definitely capable of beating West Point-Beemer, but the Panthers have to perform a lot better than they did against Winnebago Tuesday night.
Bancroft-Rosalie can't let teams beat them like that, especially on their home floor.
The Panthers have to take it upon themselves to play with pride and passion, and get this season headed back in the right direction.
I think Bancroft-Rosalie has the potential to win Saturday and do some damage in this tournament, but the Panthers have to get back to playing at the level they were earlier in the season.
I'm sort of surprised Bancroft-Rosalie has struggled so much in the second half of the season given what they did last year and the year before, and earlier this season.
It's a matter of the Panthers putting together a four quarter game, in my opinion.
Bancroft-Rosalie has to play well for four quarters if they want to knock off the Cadets and play North Bend Central on Tuesday.
The Panthers have to be energized and motivated to get the job done on Saturday. Revenge has to be on the minds of Bancroft-Rosalie's players as they prepare to take on West Point-Beemer on Saturday.
Listen to Saturday's game on 107.9 the Bull. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m.
The Bancroft-Rosalie Girls continue to play good basketball as the Panthers lost 64-57 at home to Ponca Friday night before winning 70-60 at home against Winnebago Tuesday night.

Bancroft-Rosalie played good against Ponca and even better against Winnebago. Things are really starting to come together for the Panthers.
Bancroft-Rosalie (6-10) gets ready for the East Husker Conference Tournament Friday night when the Panthers take on Pender (10-9) in Oakland.
The Pendragons lost 55-38 at Emerson-Hubbard Tuesday night.
I really think the Panthers have a chance to upset Pender.
The Pendragons beat Bancroft-Rosalie 50-39 earlier in the season, but the Panthers weren't playing as good as they are now.
Pender might be playing at about the same level they were earlier in the year, but it could be argued they're not based on Tuesday's score.
It's one game and certainly not a cause for concern, but the opportunity is there for Bancroft-Rosalie to win.
The Panthers have had such good balanced scoring as of late, and it's made a big difference.
Bancroft-Rosalie has really picked things up offensively the last four or five games.
It will be interesting to see if the Panthers can get the job done. I think Bancroft-Rosalie has a chance to play the role of spoiler if they can remain hot shooting the ball.
It should be an interesting game Friday night. We will see if the Panthers can get the job done.
The game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull. Tip-off will be after the Oakland-Craig/Clarkson/Leigh game, which is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m.
