The Oakland-Craig Boys won 60-33 at Stanton last Friday night.
The Knights led 16-7 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 11-8 to take a 27-15 lead into the locker room.
Oakland-Craig outscored the Mustangs 17-6 in the 3rd quarter to up the advantage to 44-21 at the end of three.
The Knights won the 4th quarter 16-12.
Carson Thomsen led the way with 18 points while Caden Nelson was also in double figures with 10. Gunnar Ray added 9 points and 10 rebounds.
Good job by Oakland-Craig of taking care of business against the Mustangs.
The Knights (12-2) take on Tekamah-Herman (4-9) on the road Tuesday night.
The Tigers lost 70-53 at home to West Point-Beemer on Saturday.
Tekamah-Herman is an improved team, but Oakland-Craig should win.
I bet the Knights were chomping at the bit to play BRLD Friday night and were bummed when the game was postponed due to COVID-19.
Oakland-Craig has a huge next couple of weeks though as things really pick up after Tuesday.
The Knights have done really well so far during their winning streak, but that will be put to the test by the likes of North Bend Central, Tri-Center, IA, Humphrey/Lindsay Holy, and the aforementioned Wolverines.
Oakland-Craig has to focus on taking care of business Tuesday night though as that is the first order of business.
The Oakland-Craig Girls won 50-28 at Stanton last Friday night before falling 50-37 at Broken Bow last Saturday in the Nebraska Girls Showcase.
The Knights doubled up the Mustangs 12-6 in the 1st quarter. Oakland-Craig won the 2nd quarter 17-13 to extend their lead to 29-19 at halftime.
The Knights won the 3rd quarter 10-7 to increase their lead to 39-26 at the end of three.
Oakland-Craig outscored Stanton 11-2 in the 4th quarter.
Sadie Nelson had 29 points while Chaney Nelson totaled 9.
Sadie Nelson had 15 points against Broken Bow while Chaney Nelson totaled 8. Makenna Pearson recorded 7 points and 11 rebounds.
The Knights (8-5) travel to Tekamah-Herman (3-9) Tuesday night.
The Tigers lost 78-43 at home to West Point-Beemer on Saturday.
Oakland-Craig should win this one, but I think the game could be closer than some might think.
The Knights need to play really well in this one with who they have coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Oakland-Craig has North Bend Central Thursday night, Norris on Saturday, Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family next Tuesday and BRLD next Thursday.
That's all leading up to the East Husker Conference Tournament.
So some real tough tests and challenges upcoming for the Knights.
And knowing how tough those four games are will hopefully light a fire under and create a spark for Oakland-Craig heading into Tuesday night's game knowing they need to play well.
