The Cadets took too long to get going against Schuyler, but a hot start against the Tigers proved to be the difference in that one.


West Point-Beemer (6-8) hosts Twin River (7-9) Friday night.


The Titans fell 56-46 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Thursday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.


This is a must win for West Point-Beemer.


The Cadets must refuse to lose in this one as they need it for East Husker Conference Tournament Purposes and seeding and momentum.


West Point-Beemer has to start the way they did against Tekamah-Herman and finish the way they did against Schuyler.


The Cadets have to come out and be aggressive, and play ball like they mean it from the get go.


Twin River has been struggling as of late so this is as good a time as any for West Point-Beemer to get them.


It can definitely happen too the Cadets just have to put 4 quarters of great basketball together.

















The West Point-Beemer Girls routed Schuyler 72-9 at home last Thursday night before rolling 78-43 at Tekamah-Herman on Saturday. The Cadets then knocked off Class B Elkhorn 53-51 at home Tuesday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.

The Warriors won the 3rd quarter 4-3 to make it a 66-5 game at the end of three.


West Point-Beemer won the 4th quarter 6-4.


Reece Snodgrass led the way with 17 points while Rachel Groth and Jadyn Meiergerd totaled 10 apiece. Emily Toelle added 8 points and 8 rebounds while Sidney Swanson posted 8 points.




Groth had a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds against the Tigers while Swanson registered 18 points. Meiergerd and Snodgrass were also in double figures with 15 and 10, respectively.

Elkhorn outscored the Cadets 19-9 in the second, and West Point-Beemer led 33-32 at halftime.


The Antlers started the third quarter on a 5-0 run to take the lead, but after that, the Cadets went on a 12-1 scoring run of their own, and would lead 47-43 after three.


Elkhorn outscored the Cadets 8-6 in the fourth quarter, and had two chances to tie the game in the final seconds, but both shots missed, giving West Point-Beemer the win.


Swanson had a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Cadets, and Snodgrass finished with 18 points. Meiergerd chipped in 8 while Toelle posted 10 rebounds.


Three very impressive wins for West Point-Beemer.


The Cadets (12-3) host Twin River (2-14) Friday night.


The Titans fell 65-33 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Thursday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.


This game figures to be a good measuring stick for West Point-Beemer should they matchup with the Patriots in the East Husker Conference Tournament.


That could very well happen too, but there is still business to attend to first before worrying about that.


Pierce comes to town on Tuesday so that will be a big one, and then there's a game at Wayne next Thursday.


The Cadets could very well win these next three games and be 15-3 riding a 10-game winning streak heading into the East Husker Conference Tournament.


That would be quite the deal, but it's one game at a time if you are West Point-Beemer.
