Two losses to very good teams for Oakland-Craig.
The Knights (15-6) host West Point-Beemer (8-12) Friday night.
The Cadets won 73-30 at home over Madison Tuesday night.
Oakland-Craig could really use a win in this game to close out the regular season.
The Knights could very well get it too, and should quite honestly.
Ray has to keep up his great play and Thiele and Meyer have to keep contributing the way that they have.
There's no doubt that Oakland-Craig can make a postseason run and get to State and Sub-State.
The Knights can't let recent losses against top teams get them down or discourage them.
Oakland-Craig has to respond to those games in a big way and play well come Friday night.
The Oakland-Craig Girls fell 50-40 to BRLD in the East Husker Conference Tournament Semifinals from Midland in action aired on 107.9 the Bull Friday afternoon before losing 59-36 to North Bend Central in Saturday's 3rd place game also aired on the Bull.

The Knights (11-10) host West Point-Beemer (17-4) Friday night in the regular season finale.
The Cadets won 61-23 at home over Madison Tuesday night.
These two teams will also meet in Sub-Districts on Tuesday.
Two very tough battles upcoming for Oakland-Craig to say the least.
This is the Knights' season.
Oakland-Craig has to find a way to win on Tuesday to extend their season.
I think the Knights have to keep things close on Friday just to have a chance at a win on Tuesday.
West Point-Beemer is in full postseason mode now I'm sure so Oakland-Craig has to find a way to do well and hold their own in both games.
