The Tekamah-Herman Boys Basketball Team lost 85-58 at home to Howells-Dodge Friday night.
The Jaguars led the Tigers 24-10 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 25-20 to take a 49-30 lead into the locker room.
Howells-Dodge outscored Tekamah-Herman 22-9 in the 3rd quarter to go up 71-39 at the end of three.
The Tigers won the 4th quarter 19-14.
Another tough loss for Tekamah-Herman.
The Tigers (4-12) battle Oakland-Craig (13-6) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament in Oakland Saturday night.
The Knights fell 58-46 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Tuesday night.
The two teams met last Tuesday in Oakland with the Knights winning 69-54.
That was a real encouraging game for Tekamah-Herman though, and something that has to give the Tigers hope and confidence heading into this one.
Tekamah-Herman has to repeat the things they did in that tournament, and play even better come Saturday night.
These two are rivals, and anything can happen.
Oakland-Craig has lost three in a row and four out of their last five while the Tigers have dropped three in a row and six out of their last seven.
The Knights have lost to some really good teams though so we'll see what Tekamah-Herman has for them on Saturday.
I think having the entire week to practice and prepare really helps the Tigers.
Oakland-Craig had to focus on the Bulldogs early in the week, and will only have had a few days to get ready for round two with Tekamah-Herman.
The Tigers are having an improved season and need to keep battling and fighting hard.
Tekamah-Herman needs to look to make a run in this tournament, and be the surprise of the tourney and talk of the town.
Might be much easier said than done, but the potential lies there for the Tigers to do something.
Tekamah-Herman has to go into this game ready for a full 32-minute game and heavyweight bout.
The Tigers have to be ready to battle for an entire 4 quarters against the Knights.
Oakland-Craig is going to go very hard for 32 minutes that you can almost guarantee so Tekamah-Herman has to be ready to put forth an amazing effort as well.
The game will be after the Logan View/Scribner-Snyder vs. Stanton game at 6:00 p.m.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls Basketball Team fell 52-45 at home to Howells-Dodge Friday night before losing 42-25 at Omaha Mercy Tuesday night.
The Tigers led the Jaguars 15-11 at the end of one. Howells-Dodge won the 2nd quarter 16-7 to go up 27-22 at halftime.
Both teams scored 9 points in the 3rd quarter, and the score was 36-31 at the end of three in favor of the Jaguars.
Howells-Dodge won the 4th quarter 16-14.
The Monarchs led 13-7 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 9-6 to take a 22-13 lead into the locker room.
Omaha Mercy won the 3rd quarter 10-6 to extend their lead to 32-19 at the end of three.
The Monarchs outscored the Tigers 10-6 in the 4th quarter.
Good, solid, strong effort by Tekamah-Herman Friday night.
The Tigers (9-9) battle Howells-Dodge (6-11) Friday night at Clarkson in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament.
The Jaguars won 54-47 at Logan View/Scribner-Snyder Tuesday night in action that was aired on 107.9 the Bull.
That game was tied at 37 through three quarters.
I think Tekamah-Herman can definitely get over the hump and win this time around.
It's never easy to beat a team twice in a week.
I feel the Tigers are due to breakout and end this lengthy skid they've been on lately.
Tekamah-Herman has lost five in a row and seven out of their last eight, but perhaps they will find a way to win come Friday night.
Howells-Dodge has been playing good basketball as of late though.
The Jaguars come in winners of 5 out of their last 6.
So Howells-Dodge is on a roll right now.
The Jaguars' post game has been a big reason for their success too.
I think it's absolutely critical and vital that Jadyn Fleischman has a monster game and stays out of foul trouble.
She's a great player, and the Tigers rely upon her a lot.
Guards like Anna Wakehouse need to have a big game also.
She gave Howells-Dodge trouble the first time around, according to Howells-Dodge Head Coach Scott Polacek, and has to do it again for Tekamah-Herman to be successful and have the type of game they want.
Friday night's game is scheduled to tip-off at 6:00 p.m. in Clarkson.
The winner gets top seeded Oakland-Craig in Oakland on Monday.
