The Tekamah-Herman Boys fell 64-22 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament Saturday night.
The Bulldogs got out to a 25-8 lead at the end of one before tripling up the Tigers 15-5 in the second quarter to take a 40-13 lead into the locker room.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family doubled up Tekamah-Herman 10-5 in the third quarter to go up 50-18 at the end of three.
The Bulldogs outscored the Tigers 14-4 in the fourth quarter.
Tekamah-Herman simply had a tough go of things on Saturday.
The Tigers (0-13) take on Clarkson/Leigh (1-16) in a consolation game at Howells-Dodge Friday night.
The Patriots fell 52-47 to Twin River on the road in the first round of the tournament Saturday evening.
Clarkson/Leigh downed Tekamah-Herman 42-35 on the road Thursday night.
I figure this second game with the Patriots could very well be even tougher than the first matchup was.
Clarkson/Leigh put a real scare into Twin River, in my opinion, and is playing much better basketball now than they were earlier in the season.
The Patriots had Tekamah-Herman beat by more than they ended up beating them by the first time around, and perhaps Clarkson/Leigh will win by more this time.
The Tigers have to look at this game as one of their last chances to win a game this season.
I don't know if Tekamah-Herman will win a game this year if they don't knock off the Patriots or Fort Calhoun next Tuesday or in sub-districts if those two teams meet again.
The Tigers have to do their best to put things all together for one game.
Tekamah-Herman has to play hard and out of their minds Friday night. Every single player on this Tigers' team has to rise up and play above and beyond their capabilities.
Everyone has to step up their game if Tekamah-Herman is to find a way to win Friday night.
Often times consolation games are won by the team that wants to be there the most, and quite honestly I feel both of these teams will want to be there.
I don't think either team is going to have any trouble getting excited for or in tune to this game.
I'm sure the Tigers as well as the Patriots want this one badly.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls fell 56-42 to Pender in the East Husker Conference Tournament Quarterfinals at Howells-Dodge Monday night.
The Pendragons got out to a 14-8 lead after one. Both teams scored 13 points in the second quarter, and the score at halftime was 27-21 in favor of Pender.
The Tigers outscored the Pendragons 11-7 in the third quarter to make it a 34-32 game at the end of three.
Pender saved their best for last, outscoring Tekamah-Herman 22-10 in the fourth quarter.
Tekamah-Herman was led by Jessica Fleischman, who had a game-high 22 points. Marin Jetensky notched 13.
I thought the Tigers did a great job hanging around for a while. I think Tekamah-Herman ultimately wore down though.
The Tigers (4-14) take on Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (15-4) on the road in a consolation game at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
The Bulldogs lost 53-42 to North Bend Central in the Quarterfinals at Stanton Monday night.
I've said all along I think Tekamah-Herman is a better team than their record shows, and I think this game is another classic example of that.
I feel this game will be closer than what a typical game would be between teams who are 4-14 and 15-4.
I don't know if the Tigers will win, but I fully expect them to be competitive and make things close.
Tekamah-Herman is led by Flesichman and Jetensky, and goes as they go.
These two are going to need to have monster games for the Tigers to compete with and knock off Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family, in my opinion.
Tekamah-Herman's game really revolves around them and Maddy Horn, in my opinion.
The idea has to be get Jessica and Marin the ball as much as possible, and I think that has probably been the idea the whole season.
The Tigers are two-player dominate you could say, and their game really revolves around them I would say.
Fleischman and Jetensky have to carry Tekamah-Herman once again Thursday night.
Their play specifically will greatly impact the outcome of the game, in my opinion.
Basketball is a team game, but these two players are so valuable and critical to the Tigers' success.
Tekamah-Herman only has two regular season games left after Thursday's consolation game so the Tigers have to make this game really count.
