The Pirates (18-1) take on Bloomfield (13-7) in the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament Semifinals in Ponca Saturday afternoon.
The Bees defeated Wausa 42-25 in Thursday's quarterfinals.
This will be the first and only meeting between the two teams this season.
Bloomfield isn't bad, but I don't think the Bees are even close to the same level as Emerson-Hubbard.
The Pirates have answered nearly every challenge this season, and I look for Emerson-Hubbard to come through once again Saturday afternoon.
The Pirates just have to be intense, focused, and ready to play from the get go.
Winnebago played nearly even with Emerson-Hubbard for three quarters so the Pirates' overall play needs to be better.
I look for Emerson-Hubbard to have a game similar to the Pender game the second time those two teams played.
Not that the Pirates are being challenged, but whenever people think Emerson-Hubbard might falter, they rise to the occasion.
I look for the Pirates to do a similar thing on Saturday.
Normally I would say the game could be closer than some think, but given how Emerson-Hubbard has played lately, I'm going to say the Pirates win quite comfortably.
It should be a big victory for Emerson-Hubbard.
The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in Ponca.
