I think it's matter of time before things all come together for the Pirates, and Emerson-Hubbard has to go into Ponca expecting to win.

I think there's a lot of potential for the Pirates to go into Ponca and win.
Emerson-Hubbard has been playing good basketball as of late, and has to be confident and must believe that they can go up there and win.
The Indians have been up and down so it's hard to know what to expect from them.

But if the Indians struggle and things are close and tight then it could be a Pirate win.
Emerson-Hubbard has to go up there with absolutely nothing to lose.

Ponca is a great team, but Emerson-Hubbard has played well and held their own the past two games after a couple of tough games to start the season so we'll see what happens Friday night.
Win or lose, the Pirates have to find positives to take away from the game...things that they can build on for the Winside game next Thursday night.
Emerson-Hubbard is definitely headed in the right direction so keep it up ladies!!!!
