The Winnebago Boys knocked off Lower Brule, SD 73-64 at home on Saturday.
Lower Brule got out to a 19-12 lead at the end of one. Both teams scored 14 points in the 2nd quarter, and Lower Brule led 33-26 at halftime.
The Indians outscored the Sioux 23-16 in the 3rd quarter to tie the game at 49 at the end of three.
Winnebago outscored Lower Brule 24-15 in the 4th quarter.
Kellen Crossbear had 25 points while Anthony Earth totaled 21. Dyami Berridge added 8 while Asaias Bernie posted 8 rebounds.
Big win for the Indians.
Winnebago (7-8) travels to Hartington-Newcastle (3-11) to take on the Wildcats Thursday night.
Hartington-Newcastle was last in action on Friday as they fell 53-44 at home to Crofton.
Bago should win this one going away, but the Indians have to come ready to play.
The Wildcats have lost four in a row, but Winnebago has to come out and play as if they're the defending State Champs.
The Indians cannot take Hartington-Newcastle lightly because that's when they get into trouble.
Bago needs a big showing, especially with the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament coming up.
The Indians should be a .500 ball club heading into the Conference Tournament, but Winnebago has to come out and dominate Thursday night.
Bago got their big win on Saturday, but need a dominant and impressive win on Thursday to really feel good about themselves heading into the Conference Tournament.
The Winnebago Girls dominated Lower Brule, SD at home on Saturday, winning 66-38.
Natasha Deal had 21 points and 8 rebounds while Keisha Snyder posted 20 points and 14 rebounds, good enough for a double-double. Maddy Cleveland added 11 points.
Great win for the Indians.
Bago (7-9) takes on Hartington-Newcastle (5-10) on the road Thursday night.
The Wildcats fell 60-36 at home to Crofton Friday night.
The Warriors are an amazing team, but Hartington-Newcastle has dropped four in a row and five out of their last six.
The Wildcats had some early season wins over teams with a similar record to Winnebago's, but lately those type of games have been losses for Hartington-Newcastle.
Had the two teams played earlier in the season it might have been a different story, but given Bago's play over the last five games I give the Indians the advantage in this one.
I look for Winnebago to go into Hartington and come away with a big, dominant win.
That would be just what the Indians need heading into the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament too.
