The Tekamah-Herman Boys lost 74-22 to Humphrey St. Francis and 50-38 to Friend at the Nebraska Wesleyan Holiday Tournament last Wednesday and Thursday.
It was another tough go of things for the Tigers, but I felt like Tekamah-Herman made some strides and played a lot better against the Bulldogs.
The Tigers (0-7) host BRLD (6-2) Friday night.
The Wolverines topped Cedar Bluffs 74-30 at home Tuesday night.
BRLD is a very good team, and it's going to be tough for Tekamah-Herman to knock them off given how both teams' seasons have gone.
With that said, if the Tigers can keep things close and build off the game they had against Friend, then it could go a long ways in Tekamah-Herman turning their season around.
The Tigers have some winnable games coming up so Tekamah-Herman has to get up and be ready for every game from here on out.
The Tigers have to keep working hard and busting their tails to improve.
Tekamah-Herman is in a tough situation in that they don't have a lot of players out for basketball, but at the end of the day that's just an excuse.
The Tigers have to make do with what they have, and work to get better everyday in practice and in games.
Tekamah-Herman has to continue to fight, scrap, and claw the best they can, and make every effort to turn their season around.
The Tigers' best chance at a win appears to be on Tuesday against Clarkson/Leigh so Tekamah-Herman has to gear up for that game and be ready to bring it for four quarters against the Patriots.
First things first though, the Tigers have to come ready to play against the Wolverines, and be ready to go give BRLD everything they've got.
The Wolverines could very well wear down Tekamah-Herman simply due to depth. BRLD has a substantial advantage in numbers so the Wolverines figure to get a lot of kids playing time in this game.
The Tigers have to do their best not to wear out Friday night. I know BRLD is really good and will want to get out and run, but Tekamah-Herman has to do their best to slow down the pace of the game and hang in there.
If the Tigers can keep things close and hang around until the fourth quarter, they may have a shot to win.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls lost 54-34 to Humphrey St. Francis and 37-27 to Deshler at the Nebraska Wesleyan Holiday Tournament last Wednesday and Thursday before falling 49-38 at Omaha Roncalli Tuesday night.
The Tigers led the Flyers 4-1 at the end of one. Humphrey St. Francis outscored Tekamah-Herman 13-6 in the second quarter to take a 14-10 lead into the locker room.
The Flyers outscored the Tigers 23-11 in the third quarter to go up 37-21 at the end of three.
Humphrey St. Francis won the fourth quarter 17-13.
The Dragons jumped out to a 14-4 lead on Tekamah-Herman at the end of one. Both teams scored 8 points in the second quarter, and it was a 22-12 game at halftime in favor of Deshler.
Both teams scored 4 points in the third quarter, and the Dragons led 26-16 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 11 points in the fourth quarter.
Outside of the last three quarters against Humphrey St. Francis and the first quarter against Deshler, the Tigers played respectable basketball. Certainly well enough to win anyways.
Tekamah-Herman (1-8) takes on Fort Calhoun (6-2) on the road Thursday night in a game that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Pioneers downed West Point-Beemer 57-43 at home Tuesday night.
It simply comes down to the Tigers being better on offense than they have been.
Tekamah-Herman has to score the ball better if they want to knock off Fort Calhoun.
The Pioneers appear to be really good this year, and I would say the Tigers have their work cut out for them.
Marin Jetensky, Jess Fleischmann, and others need to step up and turn in good performances for Tekamah-Herman.
The Tigers need something to happen that brings them all together and gets things turned around.
I don't know if that's a big win or something negative that turns into a positive, but this team desperately needs a spark.
Tekamah-Herman has to find the will within to pull out of this slump they're in, and play better basketball.
There's still a lot of season left, and so the Tigers can't quit now. Tekamah-Herman has to overcome and get through these tough times, and fight through the adversity.
There are some winnable games left on the schedule for the Tigers so Tekamah-Herman has to keep working hard and improving.
The Tigers have to pull through. Tekamah-Herman has to keep battling and fighting hard throughout the rest of the season.
It will be interesting to see what the Tigers can do against the Pioneers because from what I understand Fort Calhoun has a 6'2 girl.
Tekamah-Herman has to have a good game plan for defending her, and must make other players beat them.
The Tigers have to have their best effort Thursday night, and do what they can to turn the corner.
Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. on the Bull.
