The Cadets (10-6) host Wayne (10-8) Thursday night in High School Basketball on 107.9 the Bull.
The Blue Devils lost 59-56 to Boys Town at Ralston Arena on Saturday after topping Hartington Cedar Catholic 74-67 on the road Friday night.
Wayne is a nice team, but lost to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder by nearly 40.
Yet the Blue Devils only lost to North Bend Central by 2, and Wahoo by 10.
This figures to be a close, intriguing, and great ball game nonetheless.
I look for both teams to really get after each other, and make it a great ball game.
The Cadets are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now as is Wayne.
You couldn't ask for a bigger matchup and a better opportunity if you are West Point-Beemer.
This is the type of game the Cadets could really use a win in.
A quality, signature win over the Blue Devils would be great for West Point-Beemer.
The Cadets have to take the fight to Wayne, and go hard for all 32 minutes.
West Point-Beemer has to be physical and defend the 3-point line with authority.
The Cadets have to be relentless with their attack on offense and must play suffocating defense.
West Point-Beemer has to defend the perimeter well and force Wayne to drive in and try and score on their big men down low.
This figures to be a good matchup from a size standpoint.
I would say the Blue Devils matchup pretty well with the Cadets in terms of height.
It should be a great battle between two good teams, and I look for both squads to really get after things Thursday night.
I think this game will come down to the very end, and could very well go into overtime.
I feel West Point-Beemer will win being at home, but Wayne could very well win too.
I just don't see the Cadets being denied though, especially since they're at home.
The game will tip-off on the Bull after the Girls Game, which is set to start at 6:00 p.m.
The West Point-Beemer Girls Basketball Team won 45-25 at Twin River Friday night before beating Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 60-33 at home on Saturday.

The Cadets (13-4) host Wayne (12-7) Thursday night in High School Basketball Action on 107.9 the Bull.
The Blue Devils won 65-46 at Hartington Cedar Catholic Friday night.
Wayne has some good wins and some interesting losses.
I think this game could go either way.
The Cadets have to guard Kylie Hammer well, and try and slow her down as much as possible.
The strength of this West Point-Beemer team is their defense, and their D will really get put to the test Thursday night, in my opinion.
The Cadets have been on a roll lately and are at home though so those are reasons I like and look for West Point-Beemer to win.
The Cadets are a tough team, and have a lot of depth and experience.
Both teams are about equal height wise it appears so this could very well be a guard oriented game.
I feel West Point-Beemer might have better guards overall than Wayne.
Hammer is probably better than anyone the Cadets have, but overall guard talent goes to the Cadets, in my opinion.
Wayne is 0-7 when they're held under 50 points and 12-0 when scoring over 50 so that's the key to the game right there.
If West Point-Beemer's defense shows up and does what they have been all season long then they should be able to beat the Blue Devils.
But if Wayne finds a way to score in the 50's or 60's then the Cadets could very well lose.
I look for West Point-Beemer to hold the Blue Devils to under 50 and win though.
I think the Cadets and their defense are the real deal, and will continue to dominate Thursday night.
West Point-Beemer's offense has to be top notch too though.
The Cadets have to score in the 50's or 60's to be able to win and get over the hump, in my opinion.
It should be a great game and I hope you will join us for the all of the action.
Thursday's game is set to start at 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
