The North Bend Central Boys won 57-46 at Fremont Bergan Saturday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before knocking off Columbus Scotus 76-53 at home Tuesday night.
The Bergan game was a seesaw battle back and forth for most of the game as Bergan jumped out to a 4-0 first quarter lead before North Bend Central went on a 9-0 run to lead 9-4 later in the period.
The Tigers led 16-13 after one and 24-23 at halftime.
Things remained tight in the 3rd quarter, but a Kyler Hellbusch 3-pointer to beat the 3rd quarter buzzer gave North Bend Central the lift they needed to pull away in the 4th quarter.
The Tigers won the 3rd quarter 18-13 and led 42-36 at the end of three before winning the 4th quarter 15-10 to seal the deal.

NBC won the 4th quarter 21-16.
Two great wins for the Tigers.
North Bend Central (10-1) hosts Oakland-Craig (13-2) Thursday night.
The Knights won 71-40 at Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night and have won 13 in a row.
Oakland-Craig's winning streak will definitely be put to the test in this one.
I feel like the Tigers have a great chance to win this one given the way they've been playing lately.
This should be a great game that goes back and forth, down to the wire, but being at home should help North Bend Central.
It figures to be a heck of a matchup and game and I'm very excited to see how this one turns out.
This game is big for East Husker Conference Tournament Seeding as well and it figures to be a huge one.
The Tigers have to play their game and come through in the clutch, and if they do that then I think things have a chance to be all good.

Things really tightened up late in the 3rd quarter as Bergan won the quarter 13-11 to make it a 33-31 game heading into the 4th.
Like they did the other two times the Knights closed within two though, the Tigers responded and pushed the lead back up, pulling away late by outscoring Bergan 16-7 in the final period, winning the game 49-38.

The Knights won 51-36 at Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night.
I expect Oakland-Craig to challenge the Tigers, but I think NBC will find a way to win.
I feel like the Tigers' length will be too much for the Knights to handle.
These two teams had a couple of great matchups last year so we'll see what happens this year.
You can bet North Bend Central will be out revenge given last year's two close losses.
The Tigers have to be licking their chops right about now so we'll find out if NBC can keep it rolling Thursday night.
