The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Boys lost 96-53 at Winnebago in Friday night's regular season finale before winning 68-35 over Pender in the D1-4 Sub-District Semifinals at Wisner-Pilger Tuesday night.
The Bluejays led the Pendragons 13-9 at the end of one before winning the second quarter 17-12 to take a 30-21 lead into the locker room.
GACC outscored Pender 18-8 in the third quarter to go up 48-29 at the end of three.
The Bluejays notched 20 points in the fourth quarter and held the Pendragons to 6.
Kobe Slaughter led the way with 22 points and 7 rebounds while Nolan Plagge totaled 15 points. Cole Kreikemeier chipped in 13 while Landon Stalp scored 7. Andrew Guenther added 7 rebounds.
GACC really turned things on in the second half against Pender.
The Bluejays (12-13) take on Walthill (18-3) in the Sub-District Final Thursday night.
The Blujays routed Clarkson/Leigh 74-38 in the Sub-District Semifinals on Tuesday.
GACC downed the Patriots 61-27 in the regular season so based on that score this should be a pretty good game.
The Bluejays have to play a complete game though. Walthill is a really good team as they were Runner-Up in D-1 a year ago, and if GACC doesn't play four good quarters of basketball, they could very well get beat.
Slaughter, Plagge, and Kreikemeier have to continue to score the way they have lately, and must continue to play well for the Bluejays.
GACC has to try and contain the likes of Jayden Sheridan, Grayden Hallowell, Romello Porter, and Ben Lovejoy.
Those are the Blujays' top four scorers, and I think it's going to be important for the Bluejays to keep them in check.
Walthill is a mini version of Winnebago, and are good and mighty I would say.
With that said, GACC has faced a difficult and challenging schedule this year, and there's no doubt the Bluejays have what it takes to win.
GACC has to play their best game of the season to come out on top though.
The Bluejays' season will be over if they lose so this is a must win for for GACC.
One would think the Bluejays have a chance to make a run since they're in D-1 this year, but the Blujays are a formidable foe, and could very well end GACC's season.
Knowing that, the Bluejays have to get psyched, pumped up, energized, and ready for this game.
This is championship basketball, and GACC has to be on top of their game.
I would say it's going to take a complete team effort on the Bluejays' part for GACC to come out on top.
The Bluejays have to play together and as one if they want to advance to a District Final.
Game time is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on 107.9 the Bull.
