Team: Tekamah-Herman
Mascot: Tigers
Colors: Purple, Vegas Gold
Class: C-1
Conference: East Husker
Head Coach: Zach Rosenboom
2018-2019 record: 2-21 (lost to Yutan in Sub Districts)
Returning Starters: N/A
Overview:
The Tekamah-Herman Boys Basketball Team looks to improve off last year, when they won a couple of games after not winning a game for a couple of years.
Back for Head Coach Zach Rosenboom are 6'2 SO guard Brock Rogers, who was the team's leading scorer last year at 11 ppg. 6'1 Junior Cole Freidel is also back as is Eldridge Jensen (6'2 JR G).
Other returners include Dylan Chatt, Connor Feiling, and Garrison Potadle.
Rosenboom says he and the kids are optimistic about the season. "Yeah I think our kids are due for the ball to bounce our way so to speak. Like I said previously we had some guys who dedicated themselves to getting better, getting stronger, and really looking forward to seeing how they do this season."
The Tigers graduated Alex Camp, Cameron Douglas, and Tyler Petersen last year.
I think what Tekamah-Herman did last year in winning a couple of games can definitely carry over into this year.
I look for the Tigers to build off what they did last year and find even more success this year.
I feel it will be a good season for Tekamah-Herman.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Tigers at least doubled their win total from last year.
It won't be easy, but it can definitely happen.
I look for Tekamah-Herman to be very competitive in every game this season.
I thought the Tigers showed a lot of heart, guts, and grit last year by sticking to it and winning a couple.
And I think that's exactly what Tekamah-Herman will need to do once again this year.
The Tigers have to respond to adversity just as well as they did last year.
If Tekamah-Herman does that they figure to have a chance to have even more success than they did last season.
I feel this group has a lot of potential, now it's just simply a matter of going out there and realizing that potential and turning that potential into something real, great, and extraordinary.
Season Outlook:
The Tekamah-Herman Boys look to build off what they did last year and win more games this season.
Games I feel the Tigers have the best chance of winning are against Pender, Stanton, Whiting, IA, Clarkson/Leigh, and Madison.
I feel there's the potential for 7 or 8 wins for Tekamah-Herman this season, and at minimum five.
The Tigers open up the season at Pender on Friday.
Rosenboom says he's anxious for the season to start. "I'm really excited to get the season started. I think we have a lot of really great kids representing great families from Tekamah. And I think it's going to be a fun group to work with. Really excited to get this season going."
Tekamah-Herman is in Sub-District C1-6 with West Point-Beemer, Logan View/Scribner-Snyder, Wayne, and Winnebago.
Rosenboom says the kids are more confident heading into this season. "I think they know they're better. I see it from a basketball IQ thing. I can say things and they're picking it up right away, and we can look at something we did here and fix it and it's fixed."

I look for that confidence to result in some more wins this season.
I feel the Tigers will be an improved team, even better than they were last year.
These kids had a very respectable football season, and I look for that to carry over into basketball.
A few key pieces are missing from last year's team, but I look for others to step up and help fill the void left by them.
Tekamah-Herman has to come out and play hard and smart every single night out, and give it their all every time they take to the floor.
The boys have to give maximum effort and play to win as opposed to not to lose.
The Tigers have to expect to be successful and do well every time they step out on that floor.
Tekamah-Herman has to really get after things in practice and during games just like they did in the offseason.
I think fans will see the Tigers experience a good amount of success this year.
It should be a fun one for Tekamah-Herman to say the least.

Team: Tekamah-Herman
Mascot: Tigers
Colors: Purple, Vegas Gold
Class: C-2
Conference: East Husker
Head Coach: David Eriksen (3rd season)
2018-2019 record: 6-19 (lost to West Point-Beemer in Sub Districts)
Returning Starters: 5
Overview:
The Tekamah-Herman Girls look for a big season with the return of all 5 starters, including four 3-year starters.
Back for 3rd year Head Coach David Eriksen is Maggie Sheets (5'3, JR PG/SG), Jadyn Fleischman (SR C/PF), Halle Olson (5'6, JR SG), Anna Wakehouse (5'7, SR SG/SF), Aubrynn Sheets (5'3, SO PG/SG), Elena Jetensky (5'7, SO), Kaitlyn Quick (SO SG/SF/PF), Greta Lindberg (5'9, SR PF), and Maggie Braniff (5'7, SR SF/C).
Eriksen says the team went to four camps over the summer.
The Tigers lost Sydnee Brummond, Jennifer Graef, and Jordan Wetzel to graduation last year.
I feel Tekamah-Herman has a chance to be really good this year.
The Tigers have the experience and veteran leadership to get the job done, now it's a matter of stepping up and going out there and doing it.
Tekamh-Herman figures to have some good quickness with decent height.
The Tigers may not be the tallest team out there, but they should have some decent height.
I think it will be important for Tekamah-Herman to be able to score at a good rate.
I feel offense has been a struggle for the Tigers for a number of years now, and so things like ball handling and shooting will be critical for Tekamah-Herman I think.
Limiting turnovers and executing in the halfcourt figures to be key and vital for the Tigers.
Creating turnovers and getting steals and getting out in transition will be big too, in my opinion.
I think continuing to narrow the gap and be even more competitive this year than they were last year will be very important for Tekamah-Herman this season.
Coach Eriksen feels the Tigers improved a lot from two years ago to last year, and I'm curious to see what Tekamah-Herman can do this year.
I feel the Tigers have what it takes to win at least twice as many games as they did last year, but it's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication in order to get the job done.
It should be a fun season for the Purple and Gold.
I'm excited to see how it all turns out.
Season Outlook:
The Tekamah-Herman Girls look to do big things this season.
The schedule sets up nicely for the Tigers to win quite a few games too, at least in the early part of the season.
I feel we could see quite the turnaround for Tekamah-Herman this year.
The Tigers open up the season at Pender on Friday. Eriksen on the matchup. "They've got a lot of girls that are athletic and they all buy into his system up there. They're going to be a tough team to play with. If we want to compete and give ourselves a chance to win the game we're going to definitely have to limit their outside shooting and we're going to have to be the more aggressive team."
The Pendragons are a lot like Tekamah-Herman in that they return quite a bit of experience and talent.
I feel offense and scoring could definitely play a key role in this one.
The Tigers are in Sub-District C2-2 with Oakland-Craig, Cedar Bluffs, Mead, and Yutan.
Eriksen feels the team made strides from two years ago to last year despite having nearly the same record. "If you look at the record from last year it sure doesn't show that we improved, but you break down each game...we were definitely more physical, we were more competitive, and that confidence has really taken over the team. There were a lot of games last year that the previous year we were out of the game by halftime, but we would bring it to the 3rd or 4th quarter and really compete and give their teams everything that we had."
I think things like conditioning and endurance will be big for Tekamah-Herman this season.
The Tigers need to be on top of their game and in peak physical shape from beginning to end this year.
I feel having depth and a lot of girls who can perform at a high level with there not being much if any drop off will be critical for Tekamah-Herman to have success.
It appears the Tigers have that too so all the pieces appear to be in place for Tekamah-Herman to be successful this season.
I think Tekamah-Herman has a chance to do a lot of great things this year, now we'll see if they can go out there and make it happen.
