The Tekamah-Herman Boys Basketball Team lost 71-29 at home to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder last Friday night before losing 69-30 at Arlington on Saturday.
The Raiders led 20-11 after one. LVSS outscored the Tigers 22-4 in the 2nd quarter to take a 42-15 lead into the locker room.
The Raiders won the 3rd quarter 19-10 to go up 61-25 at the end of three.
LVSS put up 10 points in the 4th quarter compared to 4 for Tekamah-Herman.
The Eagles led 17-4 after one. Arlington tripled up the Tigers 24-8 in the 2nd quarter to take a 41-12 lead into the locker room.
The Eagles outscored Tekamah-Herman 18-8 in the 3rd quarter to go up 59-20 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 10 points in the 4th quarter.
Tough sledding for the Tigers, but I'm sure they're continuing to work hard and giving it their all.
Tekamah-Herman (0-6) takes part in the Nebraska Wesleyan Holiday Tournament in Lincoln Thursday through Saturday of next week.
I'm not sure who the Tigers play first and who is all in the tournament, but I fully expect Tekamah-Herman to go in there and represent themselves and the school the very best they can.
It has been a very difficult start to the season for the Tigers, but if Tekamah-Herman can get in a gym on their own and work on shooting, running, and agility drills, or even offensive and defensive sets, it could really make a difference.
The Tigers have to keep pressing forward and working hard to improve.
I thought Tekamah-Herman's offensive output was better against the Raiders and Eagles than it was against some other teams this season.
I think the Tigers are improving, and feel they have a chance to play their best basketball of the season at this Holiday Tournament.
I don't know how much winning Tekamah-Herman will do, but the kids have to keep things upbeat and positive the best they can.
This team is very young, and there's a long season to go, so it's important for the team to stay focused and hungry on improving.
The Tigers have to enjoy the time away from the gym during this 5-day moratorium, but be ready to go when they head to Lincoln on Thursday.
Tekamah-Herman has to come out loose, fresh, inspired, and ready to go.
All the Tigers can do is focus on the future. The past is the past, and nothing can be done about it now.
The past cannot be rewritten. All Tekamah-Herman can do is focus on the future with their actions, attitude, and perseverance.
The Tigers have to go out there and play the best they can next week.
Tekamah-Herman has to be determined to play as high a level as possible, and must go out there and give 110% for 4 quarters.
The Tigers have to execute offensively and play good, sound, fundamental defense as well.
Tekamah-Herman has to remember what they've been taught in practice, and apply it to the games next week.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls Basketball Team picked up their first win of the season last Friday night when they beat Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 47-30 at home. The Tigers then lost 45-34 at Arlington on Saturday.
Marin Jetensky had 14 points for Tekamah-Herman against the Raiders while Jadyn Fleischman totaled 13. Gabby Mercier added a career-high 11 points.
The Tigers led the Eagles 11-10 after one. Arlington outscored Tekamah-Herman 13-5 in the 2nd quarter to go in front at 23-16 at halftime.
The Eagles won the 3rd quarter 13-8 to extend the lead to 12 at 36-24 at the end of three.
The Tigers notched 10 points in the 4th quarter compared to 9 for Arlington.
Jetensky had 15 points while Fleischman chipped in 10.
Great win for Tekamah-Herman on Friday, and a good, strong, solid effort on Saturday despite the loss.
The Tigers (1-7) take part in the Nebraska Wesleyan Holiday Tournament in Lincoln next week, Thursday through Saturday.
I'm not sure who Tekamah-Herman plays or who is all in this tournament, but I think given the way the Tigers have played in their last couple of games, they have a chance to pick up another win or two, and hold their own.
I don't know if Tekamah-Herman will win the championship, but I think the Tigers can do some nice things in this tournament.
Jetensky, Fleischman, and Mercier have to step up and play big for Tekamah-Herman like they have for much of the season.
The Tigers have to use the good play and momentum from the last two games as building blocks for this tournament.
Tekamah-Herman now knows what it takes and what it feels like to win so the Tigers should just be able to go out there and play now.
Tekamah-Herman isn't a bad team, in my opinion, they just haven't played their best basketball at times.
Scoring has been an issue for the Tigers though so girls working on individual things like shooting, running, ball handling, passing, and offensive and defensive sets on their own during the 5-day moratorium might help Tekamah-Herman out quite a bit.
The Tigers should stay fresh and try and get into a gym at some point before the moratorium ends.
Coaches can't have contact with the kids during the time, and no organized team practices can be held, but that doesn't mean Tekamah-Herman can't do some things on their own.
The Tigers don't have to go crazy over these next five days, but getting in the gym at some point before Thursday would be really beneficial for Tekamah-Herman, in my opinion.
The Tigers have to keep the spirit alive and keep believing because good things are still yet to come for this team at some point I would say.
Tekamah-Herman has to keep working hard and must stay positive in practice and during games.
The Tigers have to keep hope up and keep pressing forward to improve and see better results come their way.
You only get better by working hard and persevering, and Tekamah-Herman has to keep doing those things to get where they want.
