The BRLD Boys Basketball Team won 68-28 at Pender to end the regular season Friday night and 61-50 over Wakefield in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals at West Point-Beemer Tuesday night.
Very dominant win for the Wolverines Friday night, and a win is a win in the postseason as I'm sure BRLD will take it any way they can get it.
The Wolverines (22-2) take on Oakland-Craig (16-9) in the Sub-District Final Thursday night that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Knights won 62-58 over Omaha Nation in the other semifinal Tuesday night.
BRLD beat Oakland-Craig 66-53 in Lyons on Friday, January 12th.
This figures to be a great and electric game between two really good teams.
Both teams should get up and down the floor and run, and make this an up tempo high scoring affair.
I think offense will be a plenty in this one, and feel both teams will put up a good amount of points.
I feel the Wolverines are stronger on defense though, and feel that could be the difference in the game.
That and I think BRLD has more overall talent and depth than the Knights.
Oakland-Craig is probably more experienced and seasoned across the board, which can come into play big time in the postseason, but the Wolverines are very quick, nifty, and athletic.
BRLD currently sits 5th in power points, but lose this one and I'm not so sure the Wolverines will make state.
It's do or die for BRLD at this point I would say.
I think the Wolverines need to win to keep their season going at this point.
If BRLD beats Oakland-Craig then they should have a good shot at a wildcard even if they were to lose a district final.
The Wolverines just have to keep winning though, and do what they've done pretty much the entire season.
BRLD has to run the floor, get out in transition, and come up with timely steals and turnovers.
I think the Wolverines have a great shot to win, but it won't be easy.
I think the key is slowing down other players besides Garrett Seagren.
He can get 30 or 40 just as long as the other guys don't get 15 or 20.
Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. on the Bull.
It should be a great game!
The BRLD Girls Basketball Team won 52-27 over Oakland-Craig in the C2-3 Sub-District Final at West Point-Beemer Thursday night.
The Wolverines went up 10-6 after one, and outscored the Knights 18-5 in the 2nd quarter to take a 28-11 lead into the locker room.
BRLD outscored Oakland-Craig 14-6 in the 3rd quarter to go up 42-17 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 10 points in the 4th quarter.
Paige Peters led the way with 12 points while Vicki Gatzemeyer notched 8.
Great and impressive win for the Wolverines.
BRLD (21-4) takes on Stanton (22-3) in the C2-2 District Final at Wisner-Pilger Friday night.
The Mustangs won 46-39 over Howells-Dodge in the C2-4 Sub-District Final Thursday night.
Stanton beat BRLD 60-46 at home on January 20th, before the Wolverines downed the Mustangs 48-40 in double overtime in the East Husker Conference Tournament Semifinals on Thursday, February 1st in Stanton.
The Mustangs will likely make state either way, but a wildcard appears to be a stretch for the Wolverines.
This appears to be pretty much do or die for BRLD.
The Wolverines have to revert back to Lyons-Decatur Northeast's experience from two years ago.
Players like Sophia Henneman and Brandi Simonsen ought to play big roles in experience and leadership from that standpoint.
BRLD has to gear up and get ready for this huge game.
This is no doubt the biggest game of these players' lives.
All that hard work since they could dribble a basketball has come down to this one game, and this one moment.
All the blood, sweat, and tears put forth over the course of the offseasons and growing up is all for this game and this moment.
It's an opportunity to get to state and play in Lincoln, a dream some of these girls who haven't been there before would no doubt love to experience.
The Wolverines have to come out and start fast, and keep things close throughout the game.
As long as BRLD can stay within like 7 points the entire game they should be in good shape.
I think coming out and getting off to a strong start and setting the tone early is going to be huge for the Wolverines.
If BRLD can get a good lead I think they have a good chance to hang on to it.
Stanton isn't really built to come back from large deficits so if the Wolverines can get up by double digits or something like that, it could be an uphill battle for the Mustangs I would say.
Game time is set for 7:00 p.m.
