The Tigers won the 3rd quarter 16-11 to extend their lead to 44-38 at the end of three.

Two solid wins for the Tigers.
North Bend Central (14-0) travels to Oakland to take on Oakland-Craig (13-3) Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Knights won 69-54 at home over Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night.
This game could go either way and is a complete toss up if you ask me.
One would think the Tigers have a good chance to win based on how they've played most of the season, but you never know.
I feel like North Bend Central has been challenged some over their last few games, especially against Wayne.
I think the Tigers could be due for a loss at some point and don't think that would necessarily hurt them.
Not that you ever want to lose a game, but I think North Bend Central could rebound from it pretty easily.
This game is big for East Husker Conference Tournament seeding so the Tigers need to win to stay in that 1 or 2 discussion.
It's going to be absolutely crazy to see how things turn out over the next couple of weeks with the East Husker Conference Tournament and all.
This should be a great battle Friday night though.
It's size and speed vs. athleticism in the case of Oakland-Craig vs. North Bend Central.
The Tigers can definitely shoot, and I think their ability to knock down jumpers could be the difference in this one.
Austin Endorf, Jaxon Wietfeld, and others need to have big games for North Bend Central.
You can bet the Knights' Wyatt Seagren and Colton Thomsen will bring their "A" games.
I fully anticipate Seagren being a force and factor down low and on the boards.
The Tigers have to make sure they know where he is at all times and get a body on him.
North Bend Central also has to play tight defense on Thomsen.
The game is scheduled to start after the girls game, which is slated for a 6:00 p.m. start on the Bull.
The North Bend Central Girls won 47-37 at home over Fremont Bergan on Saturday before defeating Columbus Scotus 40-27 on the road Tuesday night.
The Tigers and Knights were tied at 9 at the end of one. North Bend Central won the 2nd quarter 11-8 to take a 20-17 lead into the locker room.
The Tigers won the 3rd quarter 11-7 to increase their lead to 31-24 at the end of three.
NBC won the 4th quarter 16-13.
Good job by the Tigers both nights.
North Bend Central (15-0) takes on Oakland-Craig (15-0) on the road Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Knights won 63-29 at home over Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night.
Oakland-Craig also rallied in the 4th quarter in a big way at BRLD on Saturday, and won 55-52 on a Chaney Nelson buzzer beater.
The Tigers are definitely the more experienced and veteran laden team between the two squads.
The three freshmen that the Knights have are as solid as they come though.
It should be a great game between both teams Friday night.
I look for both teams to really get after one another and perform at a very high level.
Both teams are amazing and incredible, and this figures to be one heck of a game.
I think a low scoring, defensive battle favors North Bend Central while an up and down the floor game tempo wise with high scoring favors Oakland-Craig.
Making layups and easy shots at the basket and converting will be big for the Tigers.
North Bend Central has to get the ball inside and use their size on the Knights.
Oakland-Craig's post players probably need to be pretty sound in order for the Knights to win so the Tigers have to try and be disruptive down low.
It's a matchup of great guards against great post players.
Oakland-Craig has some really good guards and solid post players while North Bend Central has some very talented post players and some solid guards as well.
The game figures to come down to the wire, and could be a lot like Saturday's BRLD/Oakland-Craig game.
We will soon find out.
The game is scheduled to tip-off at 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
If you are going to go the game I suggest you get there early as there figures to be a huge crowd for sure.
