Winnebago Boys and Girls down Lower Brule, SD

 













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.
