Great win for the Pirates on Tuesday. Emerson-Hubbard never gave up.
The Pirates (3-11) host Allen (10-2) Thursday night.
The Eagles won 58-49 at home over Walthill Monday night.
Emerson-Hubbard has their work cut out for them in this one for sure.
These two will be co-oping in all sports but Football next year so at this time next year all these kids will be teammates.
For the present time though the two schools are separate.
The Pirates have to go out there and try and get bragging rights like they did against Pender
There's no reason why Emerson-Hubbard can't compete and do well in this game.
The Eagles are good, but they have been challenged in certain games.
I think the Pirates can challenge and compete against Allen.
Emerson-Hubbard has to come out and want to do well as competitors.
The Pirates have to take the fight to the Eagles for four quarters, and make life difficult on Allen.
Emerson-Hubbard has to play their tails off the same way they played against Pender Tuesday night.
That was a great come from behind team win on Tuesday, and the Pirates could use another victory like that Thursday night.
Emerson-Hubbard has to come out inspired and ready to go.
The Pirates need to play their tails off for four quarters, and play a complete 32-minute game.
Emerson-Hubbard has to force turnovers and take care of the ball.
The Pirates have to maximize their possessions and come through in the clutch.
I think Emerson-Hubbard could win this one if the game is close.
The Pirates have been blown out in quite a few games this year though and I could see what happening again too.

A few more tough losses for the Pirates.
Emerson-Hubbard (1-14) is off until Saturday when they take on Winnebago (9-6) at Winnebago on Saturday in the first round of the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament.
The Indians upset BRLD 71-70 on the road Tuesday night.
Winnebago is a much improved team and will be tough to beat.
The Indians defeated the Pirates 91-12 at home on Tuesday, January 14th.
I don't anticipate Winnebago being any easier this time around either.
If anything the Indians will be even tougher.
It has just been a really difficult season for Emerson-Hubbard.
The Pirates will be combining with Allen in all sports but football starting next year so that will help.
Emerson-Hubbard has desperately needed a co-op and are going to finally be getting it.
It's just to the point where the Pirates don't have a lot of kids out for the team and after this year you would have to wonder how Emerson-Hubbard would have been able to continue to survive on their own.
This has been a very tough year for the Pirates, but Emerson-Hubbard has to keep fighting and battling.
Mackling and Schock have to keep doing what they've been doing, and step up and be team leaders.
The Pirates have to do their best to compete and do well on Saturday.
The Indians' win over the Wolverines was beyond impressive, and Winnebago appears as if they are for real.
The Indians aren't a team people are going to want to play the rest of the season.
Winnebago has proven they are very dangerous, and Emerson-Hubbard has to try and find a way to do well against the Indians and slow them down.
Beating Winnebago might be out of the question, but if the Pirates can compete and keep things respectable it could help them heading into what would be a consolation game on Tuesday.
