The Pender Boys won 57-32 over St. Edward in the D2-4 Sub-District Semifinals from Humphrey St. Francis Tuesday night.
The Pendragons led the Beavers 17-11 after one, and won the 2nd quarter 10-6 to take a 27-17 lead into the locker room.
Pender outscored St. Ed 16-7 in the 3rd quarter to go up 43-24 at the end of three.
The Pendragons outscored the Beavers 14-8 in the 4th quarter.
Solid win for Pender.
The Pendragons (3-19) take on Humphrey St. Francis (18-4) in the D2-4 Sub-District Final at Humphrey St. Francis Thursday night.
The Flyers rolled over Winside 71-23 in Tuesday night's other Semifinal.
Pender has to come into this one believing they can win.
It may seem like a daunting task to beat St. Francis on their home floor in a postseason game, but nothing is impossible.
The Pendragons have to dream big and go in there and try and shock the World.
Pender has nothing to lose, and should simply go out there and give it all they got and see what happens.
The Pendragons have to play as if there is no tomorrow because hey if they lose then the season is over.
It has been a tough year for Pender, yet here they are playing for a Sub-District Title.
The Pendragons have to go out there and play at a Championship type level come Thursday night.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
The Pender Girls saw their season come to an end Thursday night as the Pendragons fell 47-39 to BRLD in the C2-4 Sub-District Final at Bancroft-Rosalie Thursday night.
The Pendragons led 10-8 after one before the Wolverines won the 2nd quarter 12-7 to take a 20-17 lead into the locker room.
BRLD won the 3rd quarter 12-8 to go up 32-25 at the end of three.
The Wolverines won the 4th quarter 15-14.
Pender almost qualified for Sub-State, but came up just a little short of having a chance to make a return trip to State.
The Pendragons' season ends at 16-8.
Of course who can forget Pender's wins over North Bend Central, Wynot, and Hartington Cedar Catholic this season.
Three wins over just amazing and incredible tradition rich basketball programs.
The Pendragons say goodbye to Zoey Lehmkuhl, Ashley Ostrand, Carson Miller, Skyler Prokop, and Dawson Anderson.
Key returners include Caitlyn Heise, Reese Kneifl, Claire Felber, and Alyssa Geisert.
Some great players lost to graduation, but at the same time Pender has to be excited about the future.
Ostrand is a big loss and is headed to UNO for Track so I wish her the best of luck doing that sport for the Mavericks.
As far as next year's team goes though the Pendragons must get to work as quickly and often as possible to prepare themselves for next season.
Of course most of these Girls are probably involved in track so they should enjoy that season first, but be ready to hoop it up as soon as the Summer rolls around.
