The West Point-Beemer Boys Basketball Team lost 60-42 at Twin River Friday night and 46-32 at home to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder on Saturday.
The Raiders led 11-9 at the end of one, and won the 2nd quarter 16-11 to take a 27-20 lead into the locker room.
LVSS won the 3rd quarter 9-5 to extend their lead to 36-25 at the end of three.
The Raiders took the 4th quarter 10-7.
A pair of tough losses for the Cadets, but I did feel like West Point-Beemer played better.
The Cadets (3-13) take on Pierce (8-6) on the road Tuesday night.
The Bluejays lost 40-34 at Battle Creek on Saturday.
The same Braves team that beat West Point-Beemer 62-29 at home on Tuesday, January 14th.
So the Cadets definitely have their work cut out for them in this one.
I feel like West Point-Beemer can compete and do well though given improved results over the weekend.
I feel the Cadets are playing better now than they were when they played Battle Creek.
Whether that results in a win or not remains to be seen, but I look for West Point-Beemer to play well.
I think the Cadets can definitely compete and hang with Pierce.
I don't know about a win, but anything is certainly possible.
I think West Point-Beemer is starting to grow up a little bit.
The team is relatively young this year, but they seem to be getting better and more sure of themselves.
The Cadets have a long ways to go, but I feel there is potential and promise for West Point-Beemer in the future.
The Cadets have to come out and play well on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
West Point-Beemer hosts Wayne on Thursday and that will be another tough contest for the Cadets.
Then it's Twin River in the East Husker Conference Tournament on Saturday so we'll see what West Point-Beemer can do this week.
Three challenging nights of basketball for sure, but I look for the Cadets to step up and do well and play good games.
Hopefully West Point-Beemer can win at least 2 of the games, or at least one of them.
Losing all three this week would be tough heading into next week.
The West Point-Beemer Girls won 68-37 at Twin River Friday night before rolling Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 60-28 at home on Saturday.
The Cadets held a 25-13 lead on the Titans at the end of one. West Point-Beemer outscored Twin River 21-10 in the 2nd quarter to take a 46-23 lead into the locker room.
The Cadets outscored the Titans 18-2 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 64-25 at the end of three.
Twin River tripled up West Point-Beemer 12-4 in the 4th quarter.
Sidney Swanson had 21 points while Rachel Groth notched 15. Emily Toelle added 12 while Jadyn Meiergerd posted 7.
The Cadets led the Raiders 19-7 at the end of one, and won the 2nd quarter 13-6 to take a 32-13 lead into the locker room.
West Point-Beemer outscored Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 19-4 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 51-17 at the end of three.
LVSS won the 4th quarter 11-9.
Swanson led all scorers with 25 points while Reece Snodgrass had 7. Groth pulled down 11 rebounds.
Great play in both games by the Cadets. I'm sure West Point-Beemer is very glad that Snodgrass is now eligible.
The Cadets (13-4) take on Pierce (7-6) on the road Tuesday night.
The Bluejays lost 59-47 at Battle Creek on Saturday.
That's the same Bravettes team that West Point-Beemer beat 47-32 back on Tuesday, January 14th.
I think the Cadets have a great chance to win this one.
Pierce is a really tough place to play, but I feel West Point-Beemer is equipped to go into a tough, hostile road environment and win.
The Cadets also have Wayne at home on Thursday and then Logan View/Scribner-Snyder in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament at BRLD on Friday.
Manageable week for West Point-Beemer I would say.
There's no reason why the Cadets shouldn't do well and go 3-0.
A potential EHC Quarterfinal matchup with BRLD looms next Monday, and that would be an interesting battle.
The Wolverines already beat West Point-Beemer once in blowout fashion.
I feel next Monday's potential game would be closer than that one was, but feel BRLD would have a good shot to win it still.
Still though the way the Cadets are playing right now and the way the Wolverines have struggled it figures to be very interesting.
We may know a little more as we get into the later part of the week.
West Point-Beemer has to focus on Pierce right now though.
The Bluejays are the only team that matters right now.
Wayne, LVSS, and others shouldn't even be on the Cadets' minds right now.
West Point-Beemer has to be focused on Pierce and the gameplan for trying to beat the Bluejays on their home court.
It should be an exciting week for the Cadets as we dive into Conference Tournament Play.
