LVSS beat Omaha Brownell Talbot 58-54 in the 3rd place game of the Elmwood-Murdock Holiday Tournament on Saturday.
You can bet the Tigers will be ready to play a great game given the fact they lost to the Raiders last season.
Totally different team for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder this year, but you can bet the Raiders will still give North Bend Central their best shot.
The Tigers should be thrilled about winning the Holiday Tournament, but be focused on LVSS.
There's a lot left for North Bend Central to accomplish this season yet, and winning the Holiday Tournament was the first step towards what the Tigers hope are many championships.
North Bend Central needs to continue to get the type of offensive balance they got in the Holiday Tournament.
The Tigers have to be ready to take the Raiders' best shot, and weather any storms they may face.
Basketball is a game of momentum, and North Bend Central has to seize the momentum during the game as much as possible.
I think it's one of those games where the Tigers can hold a lead throughout the game, and keep pushing it back up to a certain amount if Logan View/Scribner-Snyder makes things close.
The Tigers need to get off to a fast start and grab an early lead and continue to build upon it.
The Tigers need to play the way they did in the second half against the Wildcats if possible.
Whenever North Bend Central is on top of their game they are very difficult to beat.
This is the Tigers' only game this weekend so they should be able to focus in on it very nicely.
It's a rivalry game too, and I fully expect North Bend Central to be on top of their game.
It wouldn't surprise me if this game was decided by single or double digits as I think it could be close or the Tigers could win going away.
The game will be aired on the Bull after the Girls Game, which is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m.

Great start and performance by North Bend Central on Saturday, and a great effort on Monday.
The Tigers (6-4) take on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (3-6) on the road Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Raiders won 46-45 over Fort Calhoun in the 3rd place game of the Elmwood-Murdock Holiday Tournament on Saturday.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder is a tough, up and coming team, and North Bend Central is going to need to play well to win.
This figures to be a low scoring defensive battle, which probably doesn't favor one team over the other.
The Tigers need to play the way they did for 6 quarters in the Holiday Tournament.
If North Bend Central plays the way they did against St. Paul and the first two quarters against the Bulldogs they should be able to find a way to win.
I feel this game will be much closer than last year's game was though based on the fact the Tigers graduated a lot of players and the Raiders brought some girls back.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder lost a lot from last year too though so it will definitely be a couple of different teams and faces on the floor for both teams come Friday night.
North Bend Central has to come out and have fun and be loose, yet be aggressive and play hard.
The Tigers have to erase what I would imagine was some heartbreak and disappointment from losing Monday's game.
North Bend Central was so close, and to lose the way they did in the second half at home on their home floor had to be a hard pill to swallow.
With that said, it's all in the past now, and all the Tigers can do is move on and shake it off.
North Bend Central has to come out and put together a great and marvelous performance Friday night.
The Tigers have to turn in one of their better performances of the season and get back on track.
This is a good team that is coming along and getting better with each and every game.
Losing to Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family by 5 is not a bad loss at all, and I fully expect North Bend Central to learn and grow from it.
Tip-off between the Tigers and Raiders is set for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
