Had to feel good to win a Championship after having your 55-game winning streak snapped.
BRLD (5-1) takes on Elkhorn North (3-6) on the road Thursday night.
The Wolves lost 59-52 at home to Adams Central Tuesday night.
I don't know a whole lot about Elkhorn North being they're a new school and everything, but so far they've played a pretty tough schedule and done well so far considering it is their first year of competition.
This is a tremendous challenge for BRLD.
In previous years I think this was a game the Wolverines would win for sure.
And BRLD could very well win this game this year too, but I think their chances would of been higher going into things the last few years.
The Wolverines are still a very good and dangerous team though so a win is a definite possibility in this one.
BRLD has to go into Elkhorn North expecting to win and must compete at a high level.
The BRLD Girls also won the Louisville Holiday Tournament last week, rolling Nebraska City 58-34 last Monday before claiming a 53-37 win over the host Lions in last Tuesday's Championship Game. The Wolverines then routed Wayne 70-32 at home Monday night.
BRLD got out to a 16-7 lead on the Pioneers at the end of one. The Wolverines tripled up Nebraska City 18-6 in the 2nd quarter to take a 34-13 lead into the locker room.
The Pioneers won the 3rd quarter 13-10 to make it a 44-26 game at the end of three.
BRLD outscored Nebraska City 14-8 in the 4th quarter.
Jordan Snyder had a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds while Caragan Tietz was also in double figures with 15 points. Alyssa Buchholz chipped in 8.
The Lions went up 14-9 after one. The Wolverines doubled up Nebraska City 18-9 in the 2nd quarter to take a 27-23 lead into the locker room.

Wayne won the 4th quarter 4-3.
Tietz led all scorers with 19 points while Buchholz and Snyder registered 14 apiece. Aubrey Berg and Isabel Freemont recorded 9 each.
Dominant win and play from BRLD.
The Wolverines (7-2) travel to Elkhorn to battle Elkhorn North (10-0) on the road Thursday night.
The Wolves won 75-45 at Ashland-Greenwood Tuesday night.
I don't know a ton about Elkhorn North being a new school and everything, but they are 10-0 and own a 20-point win over Wahoo if that tells you anything.
BRLD is even stronger than they were last year though, in my opinion.
Main reason is because of their defense.
The Wolverines have committed themselves to that end of the floor.
BRLD has always been able to score, but now they are a complete team being able to play top notch defense.
This is a tremendous challenge the Wolverines are facing though.
BRLD is facing a Class B School so things will certainly be different from a competition standpoint in a way I feel.
The Wolverines can definitely win, but they have to play a great game and must step things up in order to be successful.
