Good win for Pender on Monday. Just picking up a win can do a lot for a team, increase their confidence, and lead to bigger things.
The Pendragons (1-8) take on GACC (2-8) on the road Thursday night.
The Bluejays lost 58-51 at home to Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.
Certainly a challenge to go into the Jays' Nest and win, but it can be done.
If Pender plays poised and confident like they did on Monday then they could very well come away with a win.
GACC has been close their last two games though, and always play a tough schedule.
The Holiday Tournaments these two teams were in did them no favors, but both teams have bounced back nicely so far after the New Year.
We'll see if the Pendragons can turn in another solid performance on Thursday and pick up their second win of the season.

The Tigers won 63-23 at Raymond Central on Saturday.
A huge challenge and opportunity in front of the Pendragons.
Win or lose Pender still benefits from playing C-1's best.
Playing North Bend Central will only help the Pendragons come postseason time.
Pender has to come out and play like this game is to go to State or win the Conference though.
Emulate that postseason feel and create a postseason and championship atmosphere.
The Pendragons have to be excited and fired up, especially now that they get to play up to a half full gym.
