GACC was challenged by the Knights, but the Bluejays found a way to win, and that's what matters.
GACC (24-1) takes on Ponca (14-10) in the C2-2 District Final at South Sioux City Friday night.
The Indians defeated Hartington Cedar Catholic 41-35 in the C2-4 Sub District Final last Thursday night.
Perhaps it is a bit of a surprise that Ponca is in this district final, but the Indians certainly earned their way there.
The Bluejays have to be on top of their game and be ready to dominate from start to finish.
It's that time of year when GACC needs to be playing their best basketball to ensure they head into state on top of their game.
The Bluejays have a legit chance to win state this year, and this is the final step before the real fun begins.
GACC has to take care of business and play up to their capability Friday night.
The Bluejays have to leave the Indians in the dust and end their season.
In other words, GACC has to leave no doubt as to who the better team is. The Bluejays have to play the way they have for most of this season.
GACC doesn't have a whole lot to worry about in this game as they are already headed to state so the Bluejays shouldn't have a lot of pressure on them.
The real pressure will be in the state tournament so GACC has to prepare themselves for the state tournament by winning this game big.
Tip-off is slated for 6:30 p.m.
