The BRLD Boys had their 55-game winning streak halted by Howells-Dodge Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull as the Jaguars won 59-56 in double overtime from Howells.
Howells-Dodge had upset on their mind having handed BRLD their last loss in the 2018-2019 season, and history repeated itself Friday night.
The game was all BRLD early as the Wolverines led 13-8 at the end of the 1st quarter, and outscored Howells-Dodge 19-12 in the 2nd quarter to take a 32-20 lead into the locker room.
The Jaguars had a big 3rd quarter, outscoring BRLD 16-6 to make it a 38-36 game at the end of 3 with the Wolverines still leading.
Howells-Dodge won the 4th quarter 9-7 to tie the game at 45 at the end of regulation.
Both teams scored 8 points in the first overtime, and the game went into Double OT deadlocked at 53.
The Jaguars doubled up BRLD 6-3 in the second overtime.
The Wolverines were led by Dylan Beutler, who had a team-high 23 points. Lucas Vogt and Elliot Nottleman compiled 10 apiece in the losing effort for BRLD.
Credit Howells-Dodge for handing the Wolverines their last two defeats. I honestly didn't think the streak would come to an end on this night.
BRLD (3-1) takes on Nebraska City (1-5) and Louisville (6-2) at the Louisville Holiday Tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
This is definitely a step up in competition for the Wolverines.
BRLD is playing a couple of teams who in Nebraska City is a Class B School, and Louisville, who plays a lot of Class B Schools.
So the Wolverines have two huge challenges on their hands next week.
The good news is BRLD will have plenty of time to refocus and get the Howells-Dodge loss out of their system.
The Wolverines have to come out and play great basketball next week assuming the weather holds out and the games are played.
Things could get moved, altered, or cancelled due to the weather so we simply have to wait and see and hope for the best in this case.
The Nebraska City game is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday with the Louisville game tipping off at 6:30 p.m. next Wednesday.
The BRLD Girls won 58-42 at Howells-Dodge Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before losing 40-34 at home to Pierce on Saturday. The Wolverines then turned around and beat Pender 63-51 at home Tuesday night.
The Wolverines tripled up the Jaguars 15-5 in the 1st quarter and outscored them 15-9 in the 2nd quarter to take a 30-14 lead into the locker room.
Both teams scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter, and BRLD led 43-27 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 15 points in the 4th quarter.
Caragan Tietz led BRLD with a game-high 20 points while Jordan Snyder was also in double figures with 18. Alyssa Buchholz added 8.
The Wolverines led the Bluejays 12-9 after one. Pierce doubled up BRLD 14-7 in the 2nd quarter to take a 23-19 lead into the locker room.

BRLD outscored Pender 19-11 in the 3rd quarter to increase their lead to 48-34 at the end of three.
The Pendragons won the 4th quarter 17-15.
A good way to finish the pre-Christmas Holiday Schedule for the Wolverines.
BRLD heads into Christmas with a 4-2 record.
The Wolverines pick up the action next week against Nebraska City (2-5) and Louisville (4-4) at the Louisville Holiday Tournament.
BRLD is set to play the Pioneers on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. and Lions at 5:00 p.m. next Wednesday.
I look for the Wolverines to do well in this tournament.
These are two teams BRLD should beat and two games they should win.
The Wolverines are going up against two bigger schools, but that shouldn't phase BRLD whatsoever.
The Wolverines have to be ready for the big stage, and I think they will be having had experience in different environments before.
It's a couple of matchups against different teams....teams BRLD never plays.
That has to make things fun, entertaining, and competitive for sure.
I have no doubt that the Wolverines will rise up to the challenge next week and play well as long as the tournament doesn't get cancelled because of the weather.
