Two solid wins to start the season for BRLD.
The Wolverines (2-0) take on Walthill (2-0) on the road Thursday night.
The Blujays won 60-51 at home over Winnebago Friday night.
I expect BRLD to get challenged in this game, but find a way to win.
Walthill is a good team, but the Wolverines are a great team.
I think BRLD will be ready for the challenge that the Blujays present them, and will come out and play well.
Walthill is a Sub-District opponent so beating them and getting an edge mentally is huge for the Wolverines I feel.
It could be the first of multiple meetings between the two this season, and getting that first game is big for future games, in my opinion.
BRLD can't make this game any bigger than what it is though, and that is one game just like any other.
The Wolverines must have the same approach to this game as they've had all season.
BRLD is an experienced and veteran team, and should know how to handle the loud and rambunctious crowd they will likely see and experience Thursday night.
I'm sure the Wolverines know what's coming in terms of crowd noise and such, and should be ready for it.
After all, I'm sure BRLD has played in many hostile environments before.
It has to be business as usual for the Wolverines.
BRLD has to do what they have been doing all season, and must take care of business.
The Wolverines have to spurt out to an early lead and try to not play from behind.
BRLD has to take the crowd out of the game early and make them a non-factor if possible.
The Wolverines have to do what has allowed them to win as much as they have over the years.
BRLD has to be up for the challenge of beating Walthill, and must pass the test of taking on the Blujays on their home floor.
The BRLD Girls are off to a blazing start, walloping Omaha Nation 72-21 at home in Thursday night's season opener before winning 61-40 at Homer on Saturday, and 53-38 at Pierce Tuesday night.
The Wolverines led the Chiefs 26-4 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 14-8 to go up 40-12 at halftime.
BRLD outscored Omaha Nation 23-8 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 63-20 at the end of three.
The Wolverines won the 4th quarter 9-1.
Jordan Snyder led BRLD with 16 points, Caragan Tietz 13, Isabel Freemont 9 and Emma Beutler 8.
The Wolverines led the Bluejays 17-8 after one, and outscored Pierce 14-3 in the 2nd quarter to take a 31-11 lead into the locker room.
BRLD won the 3rd quarter 12-10 to extend their lead to 43-21 at the end of three.
The Bluejays outscored the Wolverines 17-10 in the 4th quarter.
Great start to the season for BRLD, and really good defense for the Wolverines thus far.
BRLD (3-0) takes on Walthill (0-2) on the road Thursday night.
The Blujays lost 92-19 at home to Winnebago Friday night.
I have a feeling the Wolverines are going to smash Walthill pretty good in this one.
I feel this game will be a lot like the Omaha Nation game in that BRLD dominates.
It's a game where the Wolverines have to come out early, score a lot of points, and put the Blujays away early.
BRLD has to flex their muscles in this game, and fine tune and fix any mistakes they have made so far.
This is the type of game where everyone should get to see the floor for the Wolverines.
BRLD has to use this game as a game to get experience for the younger players if the situation allows.
The Wolverines have to play well enough in the first half to give subs the opportunity to play as well.
This game should be a running clock in the 2nd half, and BRLD should win big going away.
The Wolverines have to save their energy for Clarkson/Leigh on Friday.
The Patriots lost 55-31 at home to Oakland-Craig Tuesday night in action that was aired on 107.9 the Bull so you know Clarkson/Leigh will turn in a great bounce back effort Friday night.
I think BRLD's offense is what could get them over the hump in that game.
If the Wolverines can play the type of defense they have so far this season they should be good in that game.
I think BRLD has a chance to be undefeated heading into Christmas.
That would be a huge deal and accomplishment for this team and program, but the Wolverines have to keep things going.
I look for BRLD to play well and turn in a strong performance Thursday night, and then again Friday night.
The Wolverines already beat a very good team Tuesday night, and should have a good chance to win both of their remaining games this week.
