The Knights (2-2) travel to Howells to take on Howells-Dodge (1-3) on Saturday in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Jaguars fell 46-32 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Thursday night.
I feel this is a great opportunity for Oakland-Craig to go in there and ride the momentum of Friday night.
I'm sure the Knights will have the adrenaline pumping and everything.
Oakland-Craig has to pick up where they left off against Pender, and build on that on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge is a good, quality team though so things figure to be close.
I think the Knights stand a good chance to come out on top though.
Either way it should be a really good High School Basketball game come Saturday.

A couple of tough defeats at the hands of two really good teams.
Oakland-Craig (1-2) takes on Howells-Dodge (2-2) on the road Saturday in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Jaguars lost 48-44 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Thursday night.
Can the Knights get back on track in this one? I think it's possible, but Oakland-Craig has to find some answers.
The Knights have suffered two tough defeats this week, and you have to wonder what the mood in the locker room and all that sort of thing will be.
Oakland-Craig has been dealt with some adversity here in the early season so we'll see how the Knights adjust and adapt to it.
Oakland-Craig has to find a way to recapture the success they've had in recent years.
I don't want to say that the Knights have lost their edge, but Oakland-Craig fell to a couple of really good solid and quality opponents that were state opponents last year, and that's not easy to bounce back from.
Hopefully the Knights can rediscover and refind their groove and rhythm on Saturday.
I certainly think they can, and think Oakland-Craig could very well win a close game.
It will be interesting to see what happens that's for sure.
Fans and listeners should be in for a treat on the Bull on Saturday.
Tip-off is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
