Tekamah-Herman just can't get anything to go their way. When the offense plays well, the defense struggles. When the defense plays well, the offense struggles.
The good news for the Tigers is they're starting to develop scorers besides just Haber and Langley.
Tekamah-Herman (2-13) takes on North Bend Central (12-1) on the road Thursday night.
North Bend Central defeated Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 49-41 at home on Monday.
North Bend Central has been very good this year, but I think Tekamah-Herman can go into North Bend and put up some points.
I don't know if Tekamah-Herman will win, but I think they have a good chance to do some nice things offensively, and perhaps even defensively as well.
Tekamah-Herman has to put things together on offense and defense if they want to get their season turned around.
It's not too late for Tekamah-Herman.
Sure they've lost six in a row, but North Bend Central hasn't been the most dominant team offensively.
North Bend Central has been good on offense, but not great.
North Bend Central has really excelled on the defensive end of the floor though so Tekamah-Herman is going to need every basket and point they can come by.
Haber, Langley, Pickell, Gross, and Fleischman all have to step up and score for Tekamah-Herman.
Tekamah-Herman needs all five players to be in or near double figures to have a chance, in my opinion.
Tekamah-Herman also needs to play a solid game defensively.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls went 2-1 last week, and are 0-1 so far this week as the Tigers beat Clarkson/Leigh 46-23 on the road last Tuesday night, and Madison 39-15 at home Friday night before losing 57-38 at West Point-Beemer on Saturday and 60-52 at Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.

I feel like the Tigers played pretty good basketball last week with the exception of the West Point-Beemer game, and think the effort against Oakland-Craig was good. This is a solid Tekamah-Herman squad.
The Tigers (10-6) host Howells-Dodge (11-3) Friday night.
The Jaguars won 40-26 at Humphrey St. Francis on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge has won four in a row.
This will be a challenging game for Tekamah-Herman, I don't think there's any doubt about that.
The Jaguars are playing at a really high level right now, and have taken the second half of the season by storm.
Howells-Dodge is playing their best basketball at a good time, and it's going to take an awful lot from the Tigers to win.
Tekamah-Herman is definitely capable of getting the job done though.
The Tigers have a number of girls who can score and perform at a high level night in and night out.
Snow is solid as is Hannah Tobin, Jess Fleischman, Marin Jetensky, and others.
Tekamah-Herman is a complete team, and it's going to take a complete team effort for the Tigers to come out on top Friday night.
Tekamah-Herman needs everyone on the same page working towards the same common goal.
The goal has to be to win. Moral victories aren't worth much at this point in the season.
