The Emerson-Hubbard Boys Basketball Team lost 61-29 at Stanton last Friday night to end the regular season before losing 58-41 to Winside in the D2-3 Sub-District Semifinals at Stanton Tuesday night to wrap up the season.
The Mustangs went up 17-7 at the end of one on the Pirates before outscoring Emerson-Hubbard 23-8 in the 2nd quarter to take a 40-15 lead into the locker room.
Stanton won the 3rd quarter 8-5 to go up 48-20 at the end of three.
The Mustangs won the 4th quarter 13-9.
Jacob Kneifl had 12 points while Nolan Belt totaled 7 points and 8 rebounds.
The Wildcats went up 19-14 after one, and outscored the Pirates 16-9 in the 2nd quarter to take a 35-23 lead into the locker room.
Winside outscored Emerson-Hubbard 15-4 in the 3rd quarter to go up 50-27 at the end of three.
The Pirates won the 4th quarter 14-8.
I thought Emerson-Hubbard played decent in their sub-district game.
The Pirates end the year at 1-22.
Emerson-Hubbard says goodbye to Chandler Emmons, Joshua Sebade, Blake Eriksen, Keaton Wriedt, and Luke Stolze.
These seniors meant a lot to the Pirates for sure, and will be missed, there's no doubt about it.
Key returners include Belt, Spencer Burcham, Kneifl, and Kaden Swanson.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Emerson-Hubbard next year.
They have approached Allen about co-oping so it will be interesting to see if that happens next season.
The Pirates appear to be good in numbers for boys basketball, but Girls is a different story.
Whatever happens I hope it's for the best interest of the kids and the school.
Emerson-Hubbard had a tough year, and anything to make them more successful is a good thing, in my opinion.
The returning players and newcomers have to get after things in the offseason and work their tails off.
Next year has already started, and everyone needs to get started on offseason shooting and stuff of that nature if they haven't already.
I feel Emerson-Hubbard or whatever team these kids play for next year has a chance to be better next year than they were this year.
The Pirates had a difficult season, but perhaps changes are coming in the near future.
Both Allen and Emerson-Hubbard really struggled this year so I think co-oping is something Allen should consider.
I'm sort of surprised Emerson-Hubbard hasn't combined with Pender as that seemed like a natural fit.
At any rate I'm sure Emerson-Hubbard will get something figured out for their boys and girls basketball teams in terms of a co-op.
The Emerson-Hubbard Girls Basketball Team lost 63-44 to Humphrey St. Francis in the D2-3 Sub-District Final at Stanton last Thursday night to end the season.
The Flyers led 21-14 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 11-10 to take a 32-24 lead into the locker room.
Humphrey St. Francis outscored the Pirates 17-10 in the 3rd quarter to go up 49-34 at the end of three.
The Flyers won the 4th quarter 14-10.
Melanie Gentrup poured in 33 points while Courtney Bokemper and Cailin Gentrup had 10 and 7 rebounds, respectively.
What a fantastic effort by Melanie Gentrup. She single handily carried the Pirates in this one.
Emerson-Hubbard ends the season with a 5-19 record.
I thought the Pirates had a nice season for ending the season with only 7 players.
Melanie Gentrup averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds this season while Bokemper put up 10 points and 9 rebounds per game on the season.
The good news for Emerson-Hubbard fans is they're both back next year.
The tough news is the Pirates lose Cailin Gentrup and Taylor Lamp.
Key returners are Addison Mackling, Taylor Daum, and Stephanie Ferrusca as well.
The bad news is those three and Melanie Gentrup and Bokemper are all that returns next year.
I don't know if Emerson-Hubbard can play a season with just 5 girls on the roster.
Perhaps there are some freshmen coming in next year, I don't know, but I do know that Emerson-Hubbard has approached Allen about co-oping.
It will be interesting to see what happens because Emerson-Hubbard definitely needs someone to co-op with.
I figured Emerson-Hubbard and Pender would of combined, but from what I heard Emerson-Hubbard didn't want to co-op with Pender as of last year.
Allen struggled this year too so I think Emerson-Hubbard and Allen could really benefit from a co-op.
It will be interesting to see what happens because these girls need a team to play for next season.
I'm sure things will all workout and Emerson-Hubbard will get a co-op landed.
The worst thing for Emerson-Hubbard next year would have to be not having a team and having to cancel the season.
That's not something I see happening though.
The one thing you hope doesn't happen though is players transfer.
