The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Boys lost 57-45 at home to O'Neill Friday night before winning 54-45 at Hartington Cedar Catholic on Saturday.
The Eagles led the Bluejays 20-14 after one. GACC won the second quarter 10-6 to make it a 26-24 game at halftime.
O'Neill outscored the Bluejays 13-10 in the third quarter to lead 39-34 at the end of three.
The Eagles notched 18 fourth quarter points and held GACC to 11.
The Bluejays are still playing good basketball. Even though GACC lost to O'Neill, they are still a quality team.
The Bluejays (12-4) battle Kearney Catholic (10-6) in Seward Thursday night.
The Stars lost 65-62 in overtime at Doniphan-Trumbull last Tuesday night.
Kearney Catholic is a fairly decent team, but I think GACC has a good chance to knock them off.
The Bluejays have played good, consistent basketball the entire season, and haven't lost to anyone they weren't supposed to lose to.
GACC lost to Norfolk Catholic by 8 while the Stars lost to the Knights by 11.
Based on that, one would think this is going to be a close game.
I tend to agree with that. I think Thursday night's game is going to be close and entertaining.
It's hard to say how the game is going to go with it being played at Concordia, but one way or another it should be a special night for the Bluejays.
Not often do teams get to play on college courts. GACC should take it all in and enjoy the moment.
The Bluejays can't get caught up in the awe of the court, but should like playing at a college court.
It will be interesting to see how the game goes. I think GACC will win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kearney Catholic pulled it out. The game could truly go either way, in my opinion.
The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Girls defeated O'Neill 58-25 at home Friday night, and won 61-33 at Hartington Cedar Catholic on Saturday.
The Bluejays led the Eagles 22-2 after one. GACC outscored O'Neill 13-6 in the second quarter to take a 35-8 lead into the locker room.
The Bluejays tripled up the Eagles 15-5 in the third quarter to go up 50-13 at the end of three.
O'Neill notched 12 fourth quarter points compared to 8 for GACC.
The Bluejays led the Trojans 16-2 at the end of one. GACC won the second quarter 13-7 to take a 29-9 lead into the locker room.
The Bluejays outscored Hartington Cedar Catholic 17-10 in the third quarter to make it a 46-19 game at the end of three.
GACC put up 15 fourth quarter points compared to 14 for the Trojans.
The Bluejays played great basketball Friday night and Saturday. I'm not sure if GACC was at full strength for either game, but they took care of business in a resounding way both nights.
The Bluejays (17-0) square off with Kearney Catholic (15-1) Thursday night in Seward.
The Stars beat Wayne 59-31 on Saturday.
It's hard saying how this game will go as I don't know if GACC will be at full strength when the two teams play, but I think the Bluejays have a good chance to win.
Kearney Catholic is very good, but they have a loss to Hastings St. Cecilia, who is very good, but in my opinion, not as strong as GACC or even Crofton for that matter.
I think the Bluejays are a better and stronger team than the Stars.
GACC has just destroyed the competition this year outside of Crofton, and has played great basketball.
I don't know if the Bluejays will beat Kearney Catholic by 20+, but I think a 10-15 point win is not out of the realm of possibility.
GACC is a very good team, and I fully expect the Bluejays to play their best game Thursday night.
It should be a fun game and atmosphere. It's not often teams get to play on college courts as the game will be played at Concordia.
It must be business as usual for GACC, but the Bluejays should enjoy the game and atmosphere as well.
This game is no doubt going to help prepare GACC for the Mid-State Conference Tournament and the postseason.
This will be a really good test for the Bluejays. We will see what happens.
