The West Point-Beemer Boys upset Oakland-Craig 46-26 on the road 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.
Great win for West Point-Beemer.
The Cadets (9-12) wrap up the regular season at Fremont Bergan (13-8) Friday night.
The Knights won 63-53 at home over GACC on Saturday.
I feel like West Point-Beemer can definitely get this one.
Sub-Districts are set, and the Cadets will face Wayne in the C1-7 Sub-District from Wayne in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull Tuesday night.
West Point-Beemer nearly upset the Blue Devils in the regular season, and I feel a win over Bergan could go a long ways in making an upset happen Tuesday night.
The Cadets have to go out there and play fearless and with nothing to lose Friday night.
Bergan is a tough place to play no doubt, but West Point-Beemer has to go in there and expect to do and compete well and win.
The Cadets should come in with quite a bit of confidence following Friday night's win as well.
I really think the defensive end of the floor is where the game will be won or lost like it was against Oakland-Craig.
The West Point-Beemer Girls picked up two wins over Oakland-Craig, one in the regular season finale in Oakland Friday night and the other in Sub-Districts at North Bend Central Tuesday night.
The Cadets beat the Knights 52-32 in round one and 50-19 in round two.
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.
Sidney Swanson led the way with 23 points while Reece Snodgrass totaled 12. Rachel Groth had 10 rebounds while Brooklyn Weddle and Emily Toelle notched 7 apiece.
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.
Very dominant and resounding win for West Pointt-Beemer Tuesday night.
The Cadets (19-4) take on North Bend Central (19-3) in the C1-5 Sub-District Final from North Bend Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Tigers won 38-22 over Arlington in the other Sub-District Semifinal Tuesday night.
North Bend Central beat West Point-Beemer 63-38 at home back on December 10th before the Cadets upset the Tigers 57-46 in the East Husker Conference Tournament Semifinals less than two weeks ago.
This is the rubber match and for all the marbles.
West Point-Beemer could potentially still qualify for Sub-State with a loss, but the best way to ensure yourself a spot at Sub-State is to win your Sub-District.
Beating the defending State Champs on their home floor for a Sub-District Title won't be easy, but if the Cadets play the way they did on Tuesday then I think a win could very well be likely.
As far as I'm concerned this is do or die for West Point-Beemer.
Win or go home possibly.
The Cadets can't take the chance of getting a Wildcard to Sub-State should they lose. West Point-Beemer can't rely on that.
West Point-Beemer has to find a way to get the job done and win Thursday night.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on the Bull.
