Great win for the Knights last Thursday.
Oakland-Craig (14-3) hosts Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (11-3) on Saturday.
This game is a makeup from Tuesday and not a part of the EHC Tournament.
Should be a heck of a game if it still gets played, and figures to be another opportunity for a huge win for the Knights.
H/LHF won 80-49 at Madison last Thursday night.
These are the types of games that you live and play for, they are the reason you play the game.
Oakland-Craig is having a spectacular season, having rattled off 14 straight wins prior to Saturday's loss.
The Bulldogs have won 6 in a row so they are playing at a very high level right now as well.
It should be a heck of a game one way or another and I hope the weather holds out and the game can be played.

A couple of losses to great teams for Oakland-Craig.
The Knights (9-7) host Wisner-Pilger (7-10) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament Friday night.
The Gators lost 60-26 at North Bend Central Thursday night.
Oakland-Craig should be able to beat Wisner-Pilger although they could be challenged.
The Knights beat the Gators 55-38 at home on December 17th.
If Oakland-Craig beats Wisner-Pilger I think they can give Clarkson/Leigh a run for their money.
The Knights only lost by 8 to the Patriots early in the season, and could definitely turn the tables on Monday should the two teams play.
Oakland-Craig has to come out and play dominating and great basketball on Friday.
The Knights have to step things up and perform at a high level.
This is the East Husker Conference Tournament and the season is winding down.
Now is the time for Oakland-Craig to make a run if there ever was one.
Friday night's game is scheduled to tip-off at 6:00 p.m.
