North Bend Central (18-4) battles Wahoo (17-6) in the C1-5 Sub-District Final from Wahoo Thursday night.
The Warriors defeated crosstown rival Bishop Neumann 68-49 in Tuesday night's Semifinal Round.
Wahoo is an excellent ball club and will be difficult to beat, especially on their home floor.
What makes them so tough is they play a lot of Class B Schools that are good.
It appears as if the Tigers stand a good chance to make Sub-State, win or lose.
North Bend Central has to play with a sense of purpose and urgency though and play as if their season is on the line in this one.
It might not be Thursday night, but it will be this weekend or early next week should they win or get into Sub-State with a Wildcard.
The Tigers have to create that State Feeling and Atmosphere, and go out there and play Championship Basketball.
North Bend Central has to be on a revenge tour, and make up for not qualifying for State last year.
What better way to continue their run than by beating the Warriors on their home court on Thursday.
Game time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Wahoo.

The quadruple rubber match if you may.
The 4th meeting between the two teams.
The Tigers have won 2 out of 3 so far, and look to make it 3 out of 4.
North Bend Central is at home in this one too, and that makes the Tigers extra tough.
That and it's one game to go to State and you know North Bend Central will look to defend their home floor.
The Tigers have to do what they did last time and control pace of the game and take West Point-Beemer's role players out of the equation.
It's probably going to be tougher this time around for North Bend Central to win, but it can definitely be done.
With that said, the Tigers have to expect to win and have to play with a will to win and have to play as if there is no tomorrow.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
