Logan View/Scribner-Snyder outscored West Point-Beemer 8-5 in the third quarter to lead 24-20 at the end of three.

Ben Moxness had a team-high 12 points and 10 rebounds, good enough for a double-double. Darnell Sims added 9 points while Hunter Schlueter totaled 7 rebounds.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder played really strong defense on Saturday. It was a good performance from the Raiders on the defensive end of the floor.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (9-6) hosts Howells-Dodge (7-9) Tuesday night.
The Jaguars won 69-41 at home over Pender on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge is a solid team even though they are below .500. The Jaguars have lost to some good teams.
The Raiders have to play just as well if not better than they did against West Point-Beemer.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder's defense has to be superb, and their offense has to be effective as well.
The Raiders must contest shots and defend Tyler Polacek, Nolan Lund, Mitchell Prusa, Luke Renter, and others well.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has to box out and dive after loose balls.
Whoever can win the 50/50 balls could very well have the best chance of winning.
It should be a good, old fashioned street fight Tuesday night.
I look for both teams to play physical and get after one another.
Play could definitely be chippy or testy at times depending on the emotions of both teams.
Hopefully it's a well played, clean game. I certainly think it can be that way.
Listen to Tuesday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. It's scheduled to begin after the girls game, which is set to start at 6:00 p.m.
The Logan View/Scribner-Snyder Girls ended the week with another quality opponent in West Point-Beemer, and the game was almost identical to the North Bend game.
The Raiders couldn't get going in the third quarter and fell by a final of 55-17.
Ashley Peters led the way with 6 points. Other scorers included Kaylee Boyle-5, Sierra Beacom-3, Paige Heinke-2, and Breanna Smith-1.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder gave it their all, but unfortunately, the Raiders' offense was not strong enough to win.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (3-12) hosts Howells-Dodge (12-4) Tuesday night.
The Jaguars escaped with a 65-64 home win over Pender on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge lost to Tekamah-Herman Friday night, only scoring 40 points, so if the Jaguars have another night like that and the Raiders can get their offense going, anything can happen.
Offense and defense have to be better for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder though. The Raiders have to force turnovers to get easy transition buckets, and at the same time, must take care of the ball to avoid fast break opportunities for the opponent.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has to shoot with confidence. The Raiders have to believe that every shot is going in when they release it.
Obviously not every shot is going to go in, but if Logan View/Scribner-Snyder believes that, more shots may go in than if the Raiders don't believe every shot will go in.
There's certain things or tactics you can apply when struggling, and I think anything this team can do to boost their confidence is a positive thing.
It may or may not make a whole lot of difference, but Logan View/Scribner-Snyder should keep trying.
We will see what the Raiders can do. Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has a tough game at Twin River Thursday night before the East Husker Conference Tournament.
Listen to Tuesday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m.
