A pair of tough losses for the Cadets following the win over Fort Calhoun on Tuesday.
West Point-Beemer (2-9) takes on Battle Creek (8-2) on the road Tuesday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Braves won 62-47 at Crofton Thursday night.
The Cadets definitely have their work cut out for them in this one there's no doubt about that.
West Point-Beemer has to step up their game and play better than they did over the weekend.
Battle Creek is similar to Wisner-Pilger and BRLD from a talent standpoint so the Cadets have to focus on being more competitive.
West Point-Beemer has to light a fire under themselves and come out and play well.
The Cadets have to play with toughness, grit, tenacity, passion, pride, and fire.
West Point-Beemer has to get pumped up and try and surprise the Braves.
If I recall last year, GACC had a similar record when they went into Battle Creek and lost by a single possession.
The Cadets have to come ready to play and have to play to win.
West Point-Beemer can't play not to lose.
The Cadets have to come out and expect to win.
West Point-Beemer is trying to build their program and change the culture so to speak and these are the types of games you would like to see some strides in.
So far, the Cadets have had a difficult time against the tough teams on their schedule.
Perhaps something will change Tuesday night.
West Point-Beemer has to find that spark, something that gets them going.
I know the Cadets have it in them to do and be great, and West Point-Beemer has to get things turned around and become a successful team and program.
The Cadets are young and inexperienced, but you want to see growth and improvement from the team, especially in the second half of the season.
These kids are halfway to being in another grade so West Point-Beemer has to step up and raise their level of play Tuesday night.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. in Battle Creek.
The West Point-Beemer Girls Basketball Team is 2-1 in their last three games, winning 45-32 at home over Fremont Bergan Thursday night, and 60-49 at home over Wisner-Pilger Friday night, before losing 67-33 at BRLD on Saturday.
The Cadets got out to a 19-9 lead on the Knights at the end of one. Bergan outscored West Point-Beemer 10-4 in the 2nd quarter to make it a 23-19 game at halftime.
The Cadets outscored the Knights 13-4 in the 3rd quarter to go up 36-23 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 9 points in the 4th quarter.

Swanson had a team-high 8 points and 9 rebounds.
Good win for West Point-Beemer on Thursday, but a couple of off nights Friday and Saturday with the Cadets being down 4 at halftime to Wisner-Pilger and everything.
West Point-Beemer (8-4) takes on Battle Creek (9-3) on the road Tuesday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Bravettes won 42-34 at home over Norfolk Catholic Friday night.
Battle Creek is a pretty good, solid salty team.
The Bravettes will be tough to beat as the Cadets definitely have their work cut out for them.
If West Point-Beemer plays the way they did against Bergan though then I definitely think they can win.
But if the Cadets have a repeat effort of Friday and Saturday it could be another tough loss for West Point-Beemer.
I hope it's not, I hope the Cadets play exceptionally well Tuesday night and pull out the win.
I think it all starts on the defensive end of the floor for West Point-Beemer.
The Cadets need to step up and play well and hard on that end of the floor, and give the Bravettes all they want and can handle and then some.
West Point-Beemer has to play lockdown, pressure defense, and contest all shots if possible.
The Cadets also need to avoid foul trouble and must limit Battle Creek's trips to the free throw line.
West Point-Beemer needs to play exceptional offense and knock down jumpers as well as make layups and get to the free throw line and knock down free throws.
The Cadets have to be tough down low and rebound well on both ends of the floor.
West Point-Beemer has to control pace, and pick and choose their spots and get out and run.
Creating turnovers and getting out in transition is going to be important for the Cadets I feel.
West Point-Beemer needs a big bounce back effort Tuesday night.
The Cadets have Schuyler and Tekamah-Herman later this week, two games that should be wins, so if West Point-Beemer can get this one against the Bravettes they should have even more confidence heading into Thursday and Saturday's games.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. on the Bull.
