The GACC Boys were in action on Tuesday at Wayne in action that was aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The game was close throughout, with Wayne leading 24-22 at halftime and 33-31 after the third. But Wayne outscored GACC 17-10 in the 4th quarter to win the game 50-41.
Ben Ulrich had 24 points for the Bluejays.
GACC came oh so close to winning, but couldn't quite get over the hump.
The Bluejays sit at 2-4 heading into the Holiday Moratorium.
GACC faces North Bend Central (5-1) in the first round of the North Bend Central Holiday Tournament on Tuesday.
That's weather permitting of course.
The field is loaded with Omaha Concordia and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family on the other side of the bracket.
The Bluejays definitely have their work cut out for them in this tournament, but GACC has to go in there and fight hard and give things their best shot.
Ulrich needs to have a big game and must get some help from his teammates.
He can't be a one-man show for the Bluejays if they hope to win.
It takes a total and complete team effort to be successful, and GACC has to try and do what they can to increase their scoring production.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Tiger Arena.
The GACC Girls dominated Norfolk Catholic 76-36 on the road Saturday before waxing Wayne 68-25 on the road Tuesday night in action that was aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Bluejays staked claim to a 14-4 lead at the end of one on the Knights, and outscored Norfolk Catholic 18-11 in the 3rd quarter to take a 32-15 lead into the locker room.

Kassidy Kaup came off the bench to lead the Bluejays in Scoring with 16 points. Rief had 15. All 14 varsity players scored in the game for GACC.
Three very impressive and dominating wins to close out the pre-Christmas Holiday Schedule for the Bluejays following the setback to Crofton last Saturday.
GACC heads into the Holiday Moratorium with a 7-1 record.
The Bluejays have played great basketball so far this year.
GACC will meet its match on Tuesday though when the Bluejays face defending Class C-1 State Champion North Bend Central in the North Bend Central Holiday Tournament.
The Tigers rolled Milford 50-27 at home Tuesday night.
NBC is very tall, athletic, and long.
I think it's key for GACC to work the ball around for good shots, and play good, strong fundamental basketball.
This might be an even tougher test than Crofton for the Bluejays.
It should be one heck of a game with a lot of talent and outstanding basketball players on the floor for both teams.
On the other side you have Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family and Omaha Concordia, but honestly the winner of GACC and North Bend should win the Tournament.
Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at Tiger Arena.
