The West Point-Beemer Boys went 1-1 last week, downing Stanton 51-41 on the road Tuesday night before falling 71-30 at North Bend Central Thursday night.
The Mustangs led the Cadets 15-9 after one. West Point-Beemer doubled up Stanton 14-7 in the second quarter to take a 23-22 lead into the locker room.
The Cadets outscored Stanton 17-11 to go up 40-33 at the end of three.
West Point-Beemer won the fourth quarter 11-8.
Blake Anderson had a game-high 19 points while Chase Streeter and Austin Streeter totaled 11 and 10, respectively. Tate Ernesti added 7.
North Bend Central doubled up the Cadets 18-9 in the first quarter.
The Tigers outscored West Point-Beemer 23-5 in the second quarter to lead 41-14 at the half.
North Bend Central won the third quarter 10-8 to make it a 51-22 game at the end of three.
The Tigers notched 20 points in the fourth quarter and held the Cadets to 8 to make up the final score.
Chase Streeter led West Point-Beemer with 12 points and 9 rebounds while Austin Streeter had 7 points.
I thought the Cadets played well against the Mustangs, but the game against the Tigers was one to simply forget about.
West Point-Beemer (2-2) hosts Howells-Dodge (2-3) Tuesday night.
The Jaguars lost 58-42 at home to Oakland-Craig on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge started the season well, picking up wins over Stanton and David City Aquinas, but has since struggled.
This is a game between two teams looking to find some consistency.
Both teams have done some nice things this year, and struggled at times, so it should be a pretty good and even matchup.
A win is much needed for the Cadets with it being their last game before the Wayne Holiday Tournament.
West Point-Beemer doesn't want a loss to think about over the Holidays.
This game is big for the Jaguars too, and you can bet Cole Fischer will have his boys ready to play.
West Point-Beemer's strength is their defense, while Howells-Dodge has been good and bad at times offensively and defensively this season.
I look for this game to be a low scoring, defensive battle and slugfest.
Every possession is going to be critical, and limiting turnovers and getting to and converting at the free throw line is going to be important for both teams too.
I think defense will be there for both teams so whoever plays better offensively could be the team who comes out on top.
I think it's important for the Streeter boys to take charge and have big games. Both need to be aggressive with the basketball when they have it.
Tuesday night's game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull. It's set to follow the girls game, which is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m.
The West Point-Beemer Girls went 0-2 last week, losing 40-29 at Stanton Tuesday night, and 54-31 at North Bend Central Thursday night.
The Cadets led Stanton 9-8 at the end of one. The Mustangs tripled up West Point-Beemer 18-6 in the second quarter to make it a 26-15 game at halftime.
Stanton won the third quarter 8-3 to lead 34-18 at the end of three.
The Cadets won the fourth quarter 11-6.
Brittney Hinkel notched 9 points and 8 rebounds while Abbey Dale had 8 points.
The Tigers doubled up the Cadets 14-7 in the first quarter. North Bend Central won the second quarter 12-8 to take a 26-15 lead into the locker room.
The Tigers outscored West Point-Beemer 14-4 in the third quarter to go up 40-19 at the end of three.
North Bend Central put up 14 points in the fourth quarter compared to 12 for the Cadets.
Hinkel led West Point-Beemer with 8 points and 8 rebounds.
Head Coach Craig Theis says the Tigers outplayed his squad.
"Kind of outphysicaled us there, and rightfully so. They really have some good looking athletes there. And really hurt us in transition, which I didn't expect."
Theis adds he needs a player to step up.
"And you're kind of seeing we're kind of lacking that player who we get it to them, and they can get us a really good shot. And that's something we got to really work on."
The Cadets (1-3) host Howells-Dodge (5-0) Tuesday night.
The Jaguars downed Oakland-Craig 69-47 at home on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge has been on a terror lately while West Point-Beemer has struggled so far this season.
The Cadets are going to need to be stellar offensively and defensively to have a chance in this game I would say.
West Point-Beemer is going to need to play out of their minds to be successful and win, in my opinion.
The Cadets need some girls to step up and score, and must do what they can to try and slow down Sam Brester, Erin Prusa, and others.
This Jaguars' team is loaded with talent and is really good so it's time for this young West Point-Beemer team to step up and play up to their potential.
The Cadets can't be afraid of or intimidated by this Howells-Dodge team. The Jaguars are a really tough and great team, but West Point-Beemer is very capable of doing great things themselves.
These girls just have to become tough physically and mentally, and play up to their capabilities.
The Cadets have to play hard, and play with tremendous effort and heart throughout the contest.
I feel West Point-Beemer has played well at times this year, but has struggled at other times.
The Cadets just need to perform at a high level all the time and become a consistent, tough ball club.
West Point-Beemer is capable of getting their season turned around, and if the Cadets can at least play Howells-Dodge tough and close, it could give them some momentum heading into the Fremont Bergan game next week.
Tuesday night's game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull with tip-off scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
