Nice win over the Dragons on Monday.
Pender (4-15) travels to Winnebago to take on the Indians (5-9) Thursday night in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull.
Winnebago lost 70-43 at BRLD Tuesday night.
I think this game has a chance to be a good one based on how both teams did against Wynot.
Winnebago beat the Blue Devils by 4 in OT while the Pendragons lost to Wynot by 9.
The Indians beat Emerson-Hubbard by 50 though so this game could easily be a rout instead.
The Pendragons have to show some toughness, resolve, and moxie.
Pender had a really tough game against Wisner-Pilger Thursday night, and had a tough loss at the end to the Pirates.
The Pendragons talk about wanting to change the culture of their program and start winning.
And that all starts with giving your all and being a tough competitor night in and night out.
Not that Pender isn't giving it their all and doing everything in their power to win, but I feel the Pendragons could be better.
Pender rematches with the Gators in the East Husker Conference Tournament on Saturday.
The Pendragons need to step up and play well on Thursday and Saturday.
The last thing Pender wants to have happen is get run out of the gym like they did Thursday night.
The Pendragons have to be more effective and efficient offensively.
It has been a struggle for Pender this year, but the Pendragons definitely have what it takes to get to where they need to be.
You would like to see Pender finish the year strong and build something for next year.
The Pendragons are a young team, and these games here at the end of the season really matter.
Pender has to treat the contests like Gold, and do everything in their power to go out there and win on a nightly basis.
Thursday night's game is scheduled to tip-off at 8:00 p.m. on the Bull.

The Pendragons (12-7) battle Winnebago (9-6) on the road Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Indians upset BRLD 71-70 on the road Tuesday night.
Pender has won six in a row so this should be a great game.
Winnebago has Maddy Cleveland back so the Indians are at full strength now.
Winnebago is the real deal, and will be extremely difficult to beat.
The Pendragons have played superb basketball as of late though so I look for both teams to really get after one another.
Having Ashley Ostrand back has really made the difference for Pender.
This should be a great game that comes down to the wire.
It will be interesting to see how the Pendragons handle things given how many games they've played lately.
It will be interesting to see how the Indians come out coming off a huge win over the Wolverines.
Winnebago is a legit threat to anyone they play, and the game being at their house makes things awfully difficult for Pender in my mind.
The Pendragons have won six straight for a reason though, and so we will see what happens Thursday night.
It should be an action packed night of ball on the Bull.
Pender has to go into this game fearless and ready to take on the challenge of playing the Indians.
The Pendragons have to take care of the ball and really get after things for four quarters.
Pender has to hit open jump shots and get to the charity stripe and convert their free throws and layups.
The Pendragons have to box out and rebound well and also contest shots.
Pender has to try and slow things down some and play at their place and not try and get in a track meet with Winnebago.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
