The season came to an end for the North Bend Central Boys Thursday night as the Tigers lost 63-38 to Columbus Scotus in the C1-5 Sub-District Final at Columbus High.
I thought North Bend Central would keep things closer with the Shamrocks, but it just wasn't in the cards for the Tigers.
North Bend Central ends the year at 19-5.
Big wins for the Tigers came over Twin River, Oakland-Craig, BRLD, Logan View/Scribner-Snyder, and Howells-Dodge.
I think the highlight of the season definitely had to be winning the East Husker Conference Tournament Championship.
Personnel losses for North Bend Central include Jake Wietfeld, Matt Ortmeier, and Jack Post.
Key returners include John Emanuel, James Seymour, Tanner Wietfeld, Austin Endorf, and Peter Emanuel.
I think the Tigers have the nucleus and players capable of having another solid campaign in 2017-2018.
Jake Wietfeld and Ortmeier are significant losses though. Both were very good players throughout their careers for North Bend Central.
So the returning players and incoming freshman have to put in a lot of hard work this offseason and come back with a vengeance in 2017-2018.
You can bet the Tigers will be back in the thick of the State Tournament Picture next season given all who Columbus Scotus loses.
Sub-Districts can change, but I think North Bend Central will have a very good team again next season.
The Tigers need to have a great offseason of growth, development, and maturity though.
North Bend Central has to get after things in the weightroom and in the gym whether that be just lifting, shooting, running, playing pick up games, or participating in open gyms, team camps, agility drills, summer leagues, and summer camps.
There's a lot that goes into having a successful program, and the last two years have treated the Tigers very well.
North Bend Central honestly ought to be hungry, anxious, and ready for more in 2017-2018.
So the sooner the Tigers get to work this offseason....the better they will be next season.
