Two really nice wins for the Wolverines.

BRLD (10-3) takes on Oakland-Craig (15-4) in the EHC Tournament Semifinals at Midland Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.

The Knights won 54-36 over Twin River in the other Quarterfinal Tuesday night.

This game marks the first meeting between the two teams this season.

It should be a great game that I feel can truly go either way.

It's great that these two teams get to play each other after all after the scheduled regular season game was cancelled.

What a big stage to meet on too.

The EHC Semifinals with a trip to the finals on the line.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on the Bull.

The BRLD Girls smashed Twin River 64-14 in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament in Humphrey Friday night before downing H/LHF 48-42 in the Quarterfinals in Leigh Monday night.

The Wolverines (13-4) take on Oakland-Craig (11-7) in the EHC Tournament Semifinals at Midland Friday afternoon in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.

The Knights upset Clarkson/Leigh 54-40 in the Quarterfinals in Leigh Monday night.

Oakland-Craig appears to have awoke and looks as if they are a different team now than they were prior to the Start of the Conference Tournament.

It's hard to base things off one game, but it appears as if the Knights have righted the ship some perhaps.

This should be a great game between two great teams and two programs I consider to be rivals of sort.

BRLD has been lights out and money lately, and will be very tough and difficult to beat.

But the way Oakland-Craig played Monday night makes them a force to be reckoned with in this one as well.

It should be a back and forth, tight, and closely contested affair that goes down to wire.

Tip-off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on the Bull.
