The BRLD Boys Basketball Team has things rolling as the Wolverines blasted Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family 70-45 at home Friday night, rolled Stanton 62-27 on the road Saturday, and knocked off Winnebago 67-55 at home Thursday night.
Both the Wolverines and Bulldogs scored 19 points in the 1st quarter. BRLD won the 2nd quarter 11-7 to take a 30-26 lead into the locker room.
The Wolverines outscored Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family 18-11 to go up 48-37 at the end of three.
BRLD outscored the Bulldogs 22-8 in the 4th quarter.
The Wolverines led the Mustangs 22-7 at the end of one and won the 2nd quarter 11-9 to take a 33-16 lead into the locker room.
BRLD outscored Stanton 17-5 in the 3rd quarter to extend the lead to 29 at 50-21 at the end of three.
The Wolverines doubled the Mustangs 12-6 in the 4th quarter.
BRLD broke out a nine-point in the first half after being deadlocked with Winnebago at 15-apiece after the opening quarter, and led 36-27 at halftime. BRLD led for the majority of the game, led 48-38 after three quarters and outscored WHS 19-17 in the fourth.
Four players hit double figures for the Wolverines, led by a game-high 21 points from Darwin Snyder, followed by Kenyan Lovejoy with 15, Lucas Vogt with 12 and Jaxon Johnson with 10. Johnson was one board shy of a double-double as he unofficially had nine.
BRLD is now 16-1 on the season, having won 11 in a row with tonight's huge win. Winnebago falls to 13-3.
BRLD begins EHC tournament play as the #2 seed and will host a pair of games on Tuesday, January 30. They will play the winner of Saturday's play-in game between Howells-Dodge and Pender, following the 6:00 p.m. game between the North Bend Central/Tekamah-Herman winner and the West Point-Beemer/Madison winner.
Boy what a great win for the Wolverines Thursday night! BRLD knocked off a great team in Winnebago, and really played a complete four quarter game, in my opinion.
This win will no doubt give the Wolverines the confidence to go into the East Husker Conference Tournament and win it.
BRLD has to believe they can hang with and beat anyone in the conference after Thursday night's game if they didn't already.
There has to be a lot of emotions running high for the Wolverines right now.
What a great and magnificent win for BRLD.
The Wolverines should enjoy the win now, but get ready to get back after things in practice on Friday or whenever they practice next.
BRLD is playing amazing basketball right now, and figures to continue it in the East Husker Conference Tournament.
The Wolverines can do major damage in this tournament, in my opinion.
If BRLD plays like they did Thursday night they can win the whole ball of wax at State in March.
The Wolverines have to stay humble and focused, but great all around team win Thursday night.
BRLD should be very proud of what they've accomplished so far this year, but has to keep their eye on the prize.
The job is not done yet, and the Wolverines have to understand that there's a long season still ahead of them.
BRLD has to feel great about how far they've matured and come along so far this year though.
The Wolverines are growing up right before our very eyes.
The BRLD Girls Basketball Team won 75-55 at home over Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Friday night and lost 60-46 at Stanton on Saturday.
The Bulldogs led the Wolverines 15-13 at the end of one before BRLD outscored Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family 15-6 in the 2nd quarter to go up 28-21 at halftime.
The Wolverines outscored the Bulldogs 26-9 in the 3rd quarter to lead 54-30 at the end of three.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family won the 4th quarter 25-21.
The Mustangs led 19-12 after one, and outscored BRLD 12-5 in the 2nd quarter to take a 31-17 lead into the locker room.
Stanton won the 3rd quarter 15-13 to go up 46-30 at the end of three.
The Wolverines won the 4th quarter 16-14.
Paige Peters had 15 points while Vicki Gatzemeyer totaled 12.
Great win for BRLD Friday night, and a tough, but quality loss on Saturday.
The Wolverines (13-4) take on Tekamah-Herman (6-13) in the 1st round of the East Husker Conference Tournament in Lyons Friday night.
The Tigers lost 53-33 at home to Howells-Dodge this past Friday night.
BRLD beat Tekamah-Herman 48-25 at home on Friday, January 5th.
The Tigers are improving and coming along nicely this year, but I look for the Wolverines to take care of business again.
I think Peters, Gatzemeyer, Tiahna Bonneau, Mariah Petersen, Kelsey Larsen, Sophia Henneman, and Brandi Simonsen, among others, will be too much for Tekamah-Herman to handle.
I just think BRLD has too many weapons offensively to get beat by the Tigers.
The Wolverines might face Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family and Stanton again in this tournament before things are all said and done.
I'm sure BRLD would love to get another crack at the Mustangs again for the right to play at Central Community College in Columbus next Saturday.
This is a solid conference, and it's going to take a great effort from the Wolverines to do damage in this tournament.
BRLD is definitely capable of making a run, but it won't be easy.
I think the Wolverines have a really good chance to make the semifinals though.
It's just getting past Stanton I don't know about.
Perhaps the Mustangs will get upset by Clarkson/Leigh or Oakland-Craig though.
If that's the case then I think BRLD has a great shot at reaching the Conference Championship Game.
The Wolverines have to keep playing great on offense and continue to improve against the great teams from a defensive standpoint.
BRLD can score points and win games, but it's the defense that is going to need to come through for the Wolverines if they are to win a championship in this tournament, and in the postseason.
BRLD has to focus on getting turnovers and getting out in transition, allowing their defense to lead to their offense.
This team is very gifted offensively, but if the Wolverines are to knock off a great team like Stanton, their defense needs to come through.
