Oakland-Craig Boys win Sub-District Opener over GACC

 
















The Oakland-Craig Boys won 55-30 over GACC at home in Tuesday night's C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals.


The Knights led 7-2 after one, and outscored the Bluejays 18-10 in the 2nd quarter to take a 25-12 lead into the locker room.


Oakland-Craig outscored GACC 17-10 in the 3rd quarter to go up 42-22 at the end of three.


The Knights won the 4th quarter 13-8.


Gunnar Ray had a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds while Carson Thomsen had 9 points. Coulter Thiele notched 8 points and 7 rebounds while Jaron Meyer and Caden Nelson added 7 points apiece. Grady Gatewood posted 7 rebounds.


Really nice job by Oakland-Craig of responding following the late season struggles they were having.


The Knights (16-7) square off with Clarkson/Leigh (13-9) in the C2-3 Sub-District Final from Oakland Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.


The Patriots won 52-37 over Wisner-Pilger in the other semifinal on Tuesday.


Oakland-Craig beat Clarkson/Leigh 58-38 at home in the regular season.


I would say both teams are better now than they were then with the Patriots improving the most.


I think Thursday night's game will be close, but I look for the Knights to pull out a close game, especially since they are at home.


It should be a good game regardless of how it turns out though.


It's do or die for the Knights in this one, it's win or go home.


That simply means Oakland-Craig has to come through in the clutch.


Easier said than done though as Clarkson/Leigh's season is on the line as well.


Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on the Bull.
