The West Point-Beemer Boys nearly pulled the upset of Wayne in last Tuesday night's C1-7 Sub-District Semifinals aired on 107.9 the Bull before falling 48-44.
In the first game, West Point-Beemer led Wayne 27-13 at halftime, but the Blue Devils outscored the Cadets 35-17 in the second half on their way to the comeback win.
Keegan Doggett had 13 points for WP-B and Miguel Perez added 11.
Outstanding effort from the Cadets. I honestly thought they were going to spring the upset.
West Point-Beemer ends the season at 9-14.
The Cadets say goodbye to Manny Barrgan, Jesus Barragan, Scott Kienbaum, Drake Repschlaeger, and Zach Vander Griend.
These are a handful of very talented kids that will be sorely missed.
West Point-Beemer returns a lot of key pieces for next year though in Doggett, Perez, Riley Penrose, Grayson Meyer, Jaylen Kile, and Treven Weddle.
I think the Cadets have a chance to be pretty good next year.
West Point-Beemer lost a lot of close games this past season that easily could have been wins.
The Cadets have to work very hard this offseason to make sure those close games go the way they want them to next year, but they can definitely do it.
West Point-Beemer has to dedicate themselves to the court and weightroom this summer, and improve, grow, and up their game as much as possible.
The West Point-Beemer and North Bend Central girls basketball teams met for the fourth time this season when they squared off for the C1-7 Sub-State Championship and a trip to state on Friday in North Bend, in a game aired on 107.9 The Bull.
NBC won a hard-fought game 40-29.
West Point-Beemer jumped out to an early 8-2 lead, but the Tigers closed the first quarter strong to lead 11-10 after one.
A Cierra Kluthe three-pointer and a layup by Kaitlyn Emanuel just before the buzzer helped put NBC up 21-16 at halftime.
Sidney Swanson had 13 of the Cadets’ 16 first half points, with the other three belonging to Reece Snodgrass.
Both teams played tough defense and had a hard time scoring on offense in the third quarter, with both the Tigers and Cadets each adding six points. NBC led 27-22 after three periods.
Foul trouble plagued the Cadets in the fourth quarter, and NBC made nine free throws in the period. Sydney Emanuel scored eight points in the fourth for the Tigers and converted 6-8 shots from the line to help them outscore the Cadets 13-7 in the period.
Swanson had 20 of West Point-Beemer’s 29 points, with Snodgrass scoring eight and Rachel Groth adding a free throw.
The Cadets end their season at 19-6 overall.
It was another very memorable season for West Point-Beemer despite the fact they came up short of making State for the 3rd year in a row.
Swanson averaged 20 points a game on the season and led the team in total rebounds with 146. Groth was second on the team in rebounds with 142.
The Cadets say goodbye to Groth, Swanson, Brooklyn Weddle, and Snodgrass.
These five seniors will be sorely missed.
I'm sure West Point-Beemer is bummed they didn't make State, but being a part of two State Tournament Teams, including the first team to make State since the West Point and Beemer merger is something very special.
The Cadets return the likes of Jadyn Meiergerd, Emily Toelle, Katie Groth, and Emily Oligmueller.
I think West Point-Beemer has a chance to make another run next year and have a good season.
The Cadets lose a lot of talent, but return some key pieces as well.
West Point-Beemer has to be proud of what this Senior Class accomplished and the foundation they laid and established.
It's something I look for future Cadet teams to build off of for years to come.
