The Winnebago Boys Basketball Team downed Homer 90-41 at home Thursday night, and Walthill 81-70 on the road Friday night.
The Blujays led the Indians 21-16 at the end of one. Winnebago won the 2nd quarter 25-18 to take a 41-39 lead into the locker room.
The Indians outscored Walthill 26-12 in the 3rd quarter to go up 67-51 at the end of three.
The Blujays notched 19 points in the 4th quarter compared to 14 for Winnebago.
I thought the Indians played good ball this past weekend. Not bad for the first week of the season.
Winnebago (2-0) takes on Omaha Nation (1-1) on the road Thursday night.
The Chiefs won 92-44 at home over Santee Friday night.
I think Omaha Nation will challenge and compete with the Indians, but I look for Winnebago to win.
I think the Indians will play well offensively, and do enough defensively to come out on top.
The Chiefs played BRLD tough, losing 57-53, and I think this game could mirror that in a way, although I look for Winnebago to win by more than 4.
The Indians have to come ready to play though.
Winnebago has to start and finish better than they did against Walthill.
The middle quarters were good for the Indians against the Blujays, but the Indians have to dominate for 4 quarters if possible, much like they did against the Knights.
Winnebago can definitely score, now it's just a matter of playing shutdown D.
The Indians have to get back to playing the type of defense they played against Homer.
Winnebago has to play well on both ends of the floor to come away with a big win in this one.
The Indians don't just want to win, they want to win big.
Walthill is a rival, and I can certainly understand that game being close, but even though Omaha Nation is probably somewhat of a rival, Winnebago should be able to blow them out.
I look for D'Von LaPointe, Lance Denney, Maurice Scott, Manape Cleveland, and others to have big games for the Indians.
I look for Winnebago to score somewhere in the 80's or 90's, and possibly hold the Chiefs in the 60's, maybe even the 50's.
The Indians should improve to 3-0.
The Winnebago Girls Basketball Team won 60-44 at home over Homer Thursday night before downing Walthill 77-64 on the road Friday night.
The Indians led the Knights 15-9 after one, and outscored Homer 18-13 in the 2nd quarter to take a 33-22 lead into the locker room.
Both teams scored 11 points in the 3rd quarter, and the score was 44-33 at the end of three in favor of Winnebago.
The Indians won the 4th quarter 16-11.
Charli Earth led the way with 22 points while Kae Earth and Jayla Price totaled 11 and 9, respectively.
The Indians jumped out to an 18-12 lead at the end of one against the Blujays. Walthill won the 2nd quarter 23-20 to make it a 38-35 game at halftime.
Winnebago won the 3rd quarter 15-14 to go up 53-49 at the end of three.
The Indians outscored the Blujays 24-15 in the 4th quarter.
Charli Earth had 26 points while Kae Earth totaled 18. Jayla Price chipped in 15 while Isabel Earth registered 11.
Great start to the season for Winnebago. I think the Earths and Price have made a big difference for this team so far.
The Indians (2-0) face arguably their toughest test of the season Thursday night though when they take on Omaha Nation (2-0) on the road.
The Chiefs won 77-29 at home over Santee Friday night and 66-57 at BRLD Thursday night.
Omaha Nation appears to be a solid team, and this should be a great game.
The Earths and Price need to have big games for the Indians.
Winnebago has to play well on both ends of the floor, and play the type of basketball they have so far this season.
The Indians could win as long as they play as well as they did in the first two weeks of the season.
This should be a great game between two solid teams.
Both teams have been impressive in the early season, and it's hard saying how the game is going to go.
I think the Chiefs being at home and having already beaten a good team in BRLD gives them the advantage, but by no means does that mean Omaha Nation is going to win.
Winnebago has to come out cool, calm, collected, and confident.
At the same time, the Indians have to play with fire, intensity, pride, passion, mental and physical toughness, tenacity, and grit.
Winnebago is as good as they have been in a while, and their players have to enjoy and embrace this success.
The Indians have to keep working hard and playing well together, and continue to improve everyday.
It's important for Winnebago to have good practices leading up to the game.
The Indians have to get pumped, jacked, fired, amped, and psyched up before this one tips off.
