The Logan View/Scribner-Snyder Boys Basketball Team lost 50-35 at home to Yutan Friday night before winning 31-28 over West Point-Beemer in the C1-6 Sub-District Semifinals at Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.
The Raiders and Chieftains were tied at 12 at the end of one before Yutan won the 2nd quarter 12-7 to take a 24-19 lead into the locker room.
The Chieftains won the 3rd quarter 13-9 to go up 37-28 at the end of three.
Yutan outscored LVSS 13-7 in the 4th quarter.
Trystain Roseberry had 12 points to lead the Raiders while Connor Larson was also in double figures with 10.
The Cadets went up 8-2 after one. Both teams scored 8 points in the 2nd quarter, and the score was 16-10 at halftime in favor of West Point-Beemer.
The Raiders battled back in the 2nd half, winning the 3rd quarter 13-8 to make it a 24-23 game at the end of three in favor of the Cadets.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder doubled up West Point-Beemer 8-4 in the 4th quarter.
Roseberry notched 9 points while Larson totaled 8.
I thought the Raiders showed some fight and grit coming back the way they did against the Cadets.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (15-9) takes on North Bend Central (21-3) in the Sub-District Final Thursday night.
The Tigers dominated Arlington 69-26 in Tuesday night's Semifinals.
North Bend Central beat the Raiders 52-36 in the regular season.
Conventional wisdom says the Tigers are going to win this one, but anything can happen.
This new Sub-State format has created a whole new kind of upset, in my opinion.
It seems like maybe with the favorites knowing they're already heading to Sub-State they have a tendency to lax some in Sub-Districts.
At least that what it seems like has happened in certain games in Girls Sub-Districts.
The season is over for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder if they lose Thursday night.
The Raiders will not earn one of the four wildcards into Sub-State unless they win.
Knowing they have nothing to lose makes LVSS a really dangerous team, in my opinion.
The Raiders just have to go out there and play their game, and let it rip.
Roseberry, Larson, Nathan Wacker, Austin Peters, Riley Hoetfelker, and others all need to have big games for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.
The Raiders have to defend the Tigers' drive and kick game, and contest shots from the three-point line.
North Bend Central is a great team, and these two teams know one another very well.
I fully expect a great game and battle between the two squads Thursday night.
The Tigers are in Sub-State win or lose so perhaps North Bend Central won't play with as much of a sense of urgency as Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.
This is do or die for the Raiders....win and the season continues, lose and it's over.
The Tigers are a veteran, senior laden experienced ball club, which makes them tough, but LVSS has some good young talent so we'll see what happens.
Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
