The West Point-Beemer Girls lost 41-16 at Stanton in the East Husker Conference Tournament Quartefinals Monday night.
The Mustangs jumped out to a 13-2 lead after one and doubled up the Cadets 14-7 in the second quarter to take a 27-9 lead into the locker room.
West Point-Beemer won the third quarter 5-4 to make it a 31-14 game at the end of three.
Stanton outscored the Cadets 10-2 in the fourth quarter.
Bethany Anderson led the team with 7 points.
I thought West Point-Beemer would compete better than they did in this game. Credit the Mustangs for a great game played.
The Cadets (7-13) battle BRLD (13-7) in a consolation game at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Thursday night.
The Wolverines lost 56-25 to Howells-Dodge in another quarterfinal Monday night.
BRLD beat West Point-Beemer 62-51 in West Point on January 7th.
It should be another good competitive ball game this time around too.
Both teams are coming off performances they would rather forget so it will be interesting to see if both teams can bounce back.
The Cadets have to be better on offense than they were against Stanton. Scoring 16 points in a varsity contest is simply not going to cut it.
The Mustangs are a great defensive team, but West Point-Beemer has to be better than that.
The good news for the Cadets is the Wolverines aren't quite as strong defensively as Stanton.
BRLD's offense is probably better than the Mustangs' though so West Point-Beemer has to be ready to defend well.
The Cadets have to play tight defense on the likes of Lexie Bacon, Kelly Wakeley, Vicki Gatzemeyer, Paige Peters, and Tess Nottleman.
West Point-Beemer has to do what they can to hold those players to single digits and force other players to beat them.
Much easier said than done though.
If the Cadets can beat the Wolverines it would be a huge deal heading into the Pierce game on Monday.
I feel two out of West Point-Beemer's final three regular season games are winnable, so perhaps the Cadets can get to double digit wins before sub-districts.
