The West Point-Beemer Girls fell 56-48 to Bishop Neumann in the C1-3 District Final in North Bend Friday night.
The Cadets led 18-16 at the end of one. West Point-Beemer won the second quarter 9-8 to go up 27-24 at halftime.
The Cavaliers outscored the Cadets 20-12 in the third quarter to lead 44-39 at the end of three.
Bishop Neumann notched 12 fourth quarter points compared to 9 for West Point-Beemer.
Amanda Hansen led the way with 15 points while McKenzie Bruce and Taylor Weddle registered 14 and 11, respectively.
The Cadets had their chance, but couldn't cash in and capitalize on the chance to go to state.
West Point-Beemer ends the year at 22-5.
It was a great season for the Cadets, who had a lot of big wins.
Some of West Point-Beemer's biggest wins were against North Bend Central, Howells-Dodge, Wayne (twice), Wisner-Pilger, Tekamah-Herman (twice), Fort Calhoun (twice), Twin River, Pender, and Oakland-Craig.
Four of the Cadets' losses were to teams that made state.
There's certainly a lot to be proud of if you are West Point-Beemer. This team has put themselves on the map in terms of good C-1 teams in the state of Nebraska the last two years.
With that said, the Cadets graduate a lot of talented seniors so next year could definitely be a rebuilding year.
West Point-Beemer loses Hansen, Bruce, Weddle, Brooke Wegner, Taylor Miserez, and Jade Duhsmann.
Bethany Anderson and McKenna Weddle will be the two most experienced players for the Cadets next season.
Other notable players returning include Leigh Jahnke, Katie Pilakowski, and Brittney Hinkel.
I don't think West Point-Beemer will be as good as they were this year, but don't be surprised if Craig Theis has next year's team overachieving.
I look for the Cadets to win no less than 8 games in 2016-2017.
