The Oakland-Craig Boys fell 46-26 at home to West Point-Beemer last Friday night.
The Cadets led 10-6 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 10-6 to take a 20-12 lead into the locker room.
West Point-Beemer won the 3rd quarter 7-6 to go up 27-18 at the end of three.
The Cadets outscored the Knights 19-8 in the 4th quarter.
Gunnar Ray had 11 points to lead the way while Jaron Meyer notched 7.
I must say I was surprised by Oakland-Craig's shooting woes in this one.
The Knights (15-7) face either GACC or Tekamah-Herman in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals at home Tuesday night.
Whoever Oakland-Craig plays figures to give the Knights a tussle and all they can want.
The Knights have stumbled down the stretch, losing 5 out of their last 6 regular season games.
Oakland-Craig has to figure things out by Tuesday again or their season will be over.
The Knights are unlikely to receive a wildcard to Sub-State should they not win their Sub-District so Oakland-Craig has to come together and regroup and find a way to correct things this postseason.
Oakland-Craig can still get to Sub-State and make it down to Lincoln, they just have to regroup and find a way to win on Tuesday and then again on Thursday if they make it that far.
The Knights stand the best chance of any of these teams to win the Sub-District, and I think they could definitely win it.
Tuesday's game will tip-off at 6:00 p.m.
The Oakland-Craig Girls fell 52-32 at home to West Point-Beemer in the regular season finale at home last Friday night before losing 50-19 to the Cadets in the C1-5 Sub-District Semifinals at North Bend Central Tuesday night.
In the first matchup, West Point-Beemer got out to a 15-7 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, and tripled up the Knights 15-5 in the 2nd quarter to take a 30-12 lead into the locker room.
O-C won the 3rd quarter 14-12 to make it a 42-26 game at the end of three.
The Cadets won the 4th quarter 10-6.
Chaney Nelson had 14 points and 8 rebounds while Makenna Pearson totaled 9 points. Shea Johnson added 10 rebounds.
In the second matchup, the Cadets got out to a 10-6 lead after one, and outscored the Knights 17-4 in the 2nd quarter to take a 23-14 lead into the locker room.
West Point-Beemer outscored Oakland-Craig 20-2 in the 3rd quarter to go up 43-16 at the end of three.
The Cadets won the 4th quarter 7-3.
Tough end to the year for the Knights.
Oakland-Craig's season ends at 11-12.
It was definitely a different year for the Knights and not what they have been accustomed to in recent years.
The upset win over Clarkson/Leigh had to be the highlight of the season though.
Just because Oakland-Craig struggled this year doesn't mean they won't be back.
The Knights bring back Nelson, Sydney Guzinski, Laryn Johnson, Sadie Nelson, and Shea Johnson.
Edie Anderson and Pearson are lost to graduation.
Hopefully Oakland-Craig can get back to what they were prior to this year.
