Pender (2-5) battles Wayne (3-4) in the first round of the Great Northeast Nebraska Shootout at Wayne State on Friday.
The Blue Devils have won three in a row.
Wayne will be tough.
The Blue Devils have played an extremely difficult schedule and Wayne is a bigger school than Pender.
The win over Stanton should help, and the Pendragons have to play the same way they did against Lutheran High Northeast.
I look for Pender to make strides and compete well in this tournament.
The tournament is full of really good teams, and the Pendragons will really be challenged, that's for sure.
Pender has to bring their "A" game and really take it to everyone for four quarters.
The Pendragons have to try and at least be competitive in every game of the tournament.
Pender has to play hard and be confident when they shoot the ball.
The Pendragons need to get in the gym on their own during this moratorium period.
I think it's imperative that Pender works out and shoots and stays loose.
The last thing the Pendragons can afford to do is sit around for five days and be physically inactive.
Pender has to stay sharp and in game shape if at all possible.
The Pendragons need to get fired up over the break and come out and play with tons of passion, pride, fire, toughness, tenacity, and grit over the weekend.
Pender has to to play hard and smart this weekend, and continue to win and make strides as program.
A win heading into the Holiday Break had to feel good, and the kids should enjoy the Christmas Holiday with their family.
Friday night's game is scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. start at Rice Auditorium.

The Pendragons (4-3) take on Wayne (4-3) in the first round of the Wayne Holiday Tournament Friday night.
The Blue Devils lost 58-51 at home to O'Neill on Saturday.
Wayne is a solid team who has lost to some great teams and even beat Wahoo.
I think Pender can definitely hold their own and win though.
The Pendragons are definitely on the tough side of the bracket as they will play either Hastings St. Cecilia or Hartington Cedar Catholic in their second game.
I feel Pender has a chance to at least go 2-1 in this tournament.
I think the 3rd or 5th place game is very possible for the Pendragons.
Pender has to raise their level of play and play great basketball though.
The Pendragons have to step things up and build upon what they did on Saturday.
Pender can definitely beat Wayne if they're on top of their game so we will see what happens.
I feel the Pendragons can definitely benefit from some shooting and working out over the moratorium period.
Of course Pender has to do this on their own as practicing is not allowed, but staying fresh and sharp and in game shape is very important for the Pendragons I feel.
The last thing Pender can afford to do is sit around and do nothing for five days.
I feel the Pendragons can definitely make some noise in this tournament, and feel like they could be a real darkhorse.
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Pender beat Wayne.
I feel the Pendragons are more than capable of beating the Blue Devils, and I feel like it could really happen.
It won't be easy, but it is definitely possible, in my opinion.
Tip-off is slated for 7:00 p.m. at Wayne State's Rice Auditorium.
