Wisner-Pilger Boys and Girls beat Bancroft-Rosalie

The Wisner-Pilger Boys got back to .500 with a 50-41 win at home over Bancroft-Rosalie Thursday night.

The Panthers and Gators were tied at 13 at the end of one. Wisner-Pilger won the second quarter 14-10 to go up 27-23 at halftime.

Bancroft-Rosalie outscored the Gators 9-8 in the third quarter to make it a 35-32 game at the end of three.

Wisner-Pilger notched 15 fourth quarter points and held the Panthers to 9.

Head Coach Duane Mendlik on the win.

"I thought for the most part we did a decent job. And we come away with the win. I told the kids it was pretty ugly, but it's still a win, and that's kind of what we're interested in."

Despite the win, Mendlik still wasn't pleased with his team's overall performance.

"Bancroft played really hard, really scrappy. We have to do a better job...pretty simple."

The Gators (5-5) host Howells-Dodge (6-7) Friday night.

The Jaguars defeated Plainview 49-35 at home on Saturday.

Howells-Dodge, like Wisner-Pilger, has been up and down this year.

The Jaguars have looked really good at times, but have looked like an average team at others.

This should be a good battle between two fairly equal teams.

I look for the likes of Tyler Polacek, Mitchell Prusa, Nolan Lund, Luke Renter, and others to do damage for Howells-Dodge.

The Gators definitely have some capable players as well, and all will need to step up if Wisner-Pilger wants to be successful Friday night.

It should be an interesting chess match between the two teams. I look for things to be close and come down to the wire.

I don't think either team is going to run away with things by any means.

The team that plays the best, executes at the highest level, makes the most shots, and takes better care of the ball will probably win.

Both teams have been pretty solid offensively and defensively in their wins so whoever gets the job done better on both ends of the floor will probably come out on top.

The Wisner-Pilger Girls topped Bancroft-Rosalie 55-38 at home Thursday night.

The Gators led the Panthers 13-9 at the end of one. Wisner-Pilger outscored Bancroft-Rosalie 21-2 in the second quarter to take a 34-11 lead into the locker room.

The Panthers won the third quarter 16-12 to make it a 46-27 lead after three.

Bancroft-Rosalie put up 11 fourth quarter points compared to 9 for the Gators.

Head Coach Chuck Ross. "It's taken us a while, four years, to get these seniors to play together. I mean they were all kind of good athletes, and finally they just decided that you know what this is our last season, so let's make it a good one. And it's really helped us tremendously in practice. And they're just a great group of girls."

Wisner-Pilger (7-4) hosts Howells-Dodge (8-3) Friday night.

The Jaguars defeated Plainview 50-15 at home on Saturday.

The Gators have to watch out for Sam and Kalli Brester, among others.

Howells-Dodge is a very good team, and Wisner-Pilger is going to have to play a great game to beat them.

I really don't know who is going to win this game. I think things could definitely go either way.

I would be awfully surprised if this game didn't go down to the wire, and wouldn't be shocked if it went into overtime or beyond.

I look for a game in the 50's or 60's decided by 5 points or less.

Every possession, shot, free throw, foul, and turnover is critical.

Everything matters in this game, and neither team has a huge margin for error.

It will be interesting to see how the Gators do in this game. The game being in Wisner is an advantage for the Gators no doubt.

I could see Wisner-Pilger winning, but I could also see Howells-Dodge stealing one on the road.

It should be a great game regardless of who wins.

Bancroft-Rosalie Boys and Girls lose to Wisner-Pilger and West Point-Beemer

The Bancroft-Rosalie Boys dropped two games last week, falling 50-41 at Wisner-Pilger Thursday night and 45-42 at home to West Point-Beemer on Saturday.

The Panthers and Gators were tied at 13 at the end of one. Wisner-Pilger won the second quarter 14-10 to go up 27-23 at halftime.

Bancroft-Rosalie outscored the Gators 9-8 in the third quarter to make it a 35-32 game at the end of three.

Wisner-Pilger notched 15 fourth quarter points and held the Panthers to 9.

Mario Aldrich had a team-high 13 points. Kenyan Lovejoy added 11.

Tate Toelle knocked down a three-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Cadets past Bancroft-Rosalie.

The game was tied at 15 at the end of one. West Point-Beemer won the second quarter 11-8 to lead 26-23 at halftime.

The Panthers outscored the Cadets 9-8 in the third quarter to close within 2 at 34-32 at the end of three.

West Point-Beemer put up 11 fourth quarter points compared to 10 for Bancroft-Rosalie.

Aldrich had a team-high 16 points while Aaron Ras notched 9.

The Panthers came close to winning last week, they just couldn't quite get over the hump.

Bancroft-Rosalie played better than they did against Cedar Bluffs and Guardian Angels Central Catholic, but the Panthers are still struggling.

Bancroft-Rosalie (7-4) looks to snap their four-game losing streak Friday night when they take on Oakland-Craig (4-8) at home.

The Knights lost 91-48 at home to Winnebago on Saturday after falling 75-58 at home to Stanton Friday night.

This is a game between two teams who could really use a win and get on the right track.

Both teams have athletes and scorers, it's simply a matter of putting everything together for a complete game.

Aldrich, Ras, Trent Gatewood, Lovejoy, Dayne Wortman, Jacob Zuhlke, and others need to step up for the Panthers.

Bancroft-Rosalie has plenty of athleticism and versatility so getting back on track at some point shouldn't be a problem.

I think it's just a matter of when for the Panthers.

Bancroft-Rosalie hopes it's sooner rather than later.

Oakland-Craig would be a good team to get back on track against. The Knights have struggled, but they're still a good team. It would be a real quality win for the Panthers.

Bancroft-Rosalie has to be a lot better offensively if they want to knock off Oakland-Craig. Scoring and defense for that matter have been big issues for the Panthers during their current losing streak.

We will see what Bancroft-Rosalie can do Friday night.

The Bancroft-Rosalie Girls lost 55-38 at Wisner-Pilger Thursday night, and fell 55-43 at home to West Point-Beemer on Saturday.

The Gators led the Panthers 13-9 at the end of one. Wisner-Pilger outscored Bancroft-Rosalie 21-2 in the second quarter to take a 34-11 lead into the locker room.

The Panthers won the third quarter 16-12 to make it a 46-27 lead after three.

Bancroft-Rosalie put up 11 fourth quarter points compared to 9 for the Gators.

Vicki Gatzmeyer finished with a team-high 19 points. Paige Peters added 7.

Head Coach Rod Peters on his girls leading early. "We came out and executed at the beginning of the game really well, and got up big. And were not able to continue that. I think they went on like a 30-2 run. We had some open looks, we just were not able to knock them down."

The Panthers led the Cadets 13-8 at the end of one. West Point-Beemer won the second quarter 17-11 to lead 25-24 at halftime.

The Cadets outscored Bancroft-Rosalie 15-8 in the third quarter to go up 40-32 at the end of three.

West Point-Beemer notched 15 fourth quarter points compared to 11 for the Panthers.

Hannah Flock had a team-high 9 points while Gatzmeyer registered 8 points and 7 rebounds. Tess Nottleman notched 7 points.

As you can see, Bancroft-Rosalie is good at starting off strong. The problem is sustaining a high level of play throughout.

The Panthers (3-8) host Oakland-Craig (9-2) Friday night.

The Knights beat Stanton 45-32 at home Friday night before downing Winnebago 61-45 at home Saturday night.

Oakland-Craig is certainly playing some really good basketball right now, and has continued to improve as the season has gone along.

The Knights are definitely a team to be reckoned with, and Bancroft-Rosalie needs to be ready to bring it for four quarters against Oakland-Craig.

Gatzmeyer, Flock, Nottleman, Peters, Kassidi Browning, and others all need to step up and score for the Panthers.

Scoring and stopping people have been Bancroft-Rosalie's biggest issues this season.

The Panthers have scored over 50 and held teams to under 35 in their three wins.

Bancroft-Rosalie has scored under 50 in every one of their losses, and has allowed 50 or more points in every loss but one.

There's a clear formula for winning, and the Panthers have found it. Now it's a matter of Bancroft-Rosalie becoming more consistent and finding that winning formula more often.

The Panthers have their work cut out for them, but anything can happen if Bancroft-Rosalie plays well for four quarters.

Emerson-Hubbard Boys and Girls win Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament

The Emerson-Hubbard Boys won the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament last week, defeating Homer 63-43 Friday night, and Wakefield 56-54 on Saturday.

The Pirates and Knights were tied at 18 at the end of one. Emerson-Hubbard outscored Homer 24-5 in the second quarter to take a 42-23 lead into the locker room.

The Knights won the third quarter 16-13 to make it a 55-39 game at the end of three.

The Pirates doubled up Homer 8-4 in the fourth quarter.

Emerson-Hubbard led the Trojans 10-8 after one. Wakefield won the second quarter 12-10 to tie the game at 20 at halftime.

The Trojans outscored the Pirates 22-20 in the third quarter to go up 42-40 at the end of three.

Emerson-Hubbard notched 16 fourth quarter points, and held Wakefield to 12.

The Pirates have really come on as of late. Emerson-Hubbard is starting to turn the corner, and play some great basketball.

The Pirates (4-7) battle Winnebago (14-0) on the road Tuesday night.

The Indians won 91-48 at Oakland-Craig Saturday night, and are the real deal.

I don't think Emerson-Hubbard has faced anybody of Winnebago's caliber so far this season.

The Pirates definitely have their work cut out for them. This is going to be a very tough game for Emerson-Hubbard.

The Indians have so many players who can hurt you, including David Wingett, D'Von Lapointe, Aspen Lapointe, Cedrick Blackdeer, and others.

The Pirates are going to have to play exceptional basketball not only to beat, but to even hang with Winnebago.

Emerson-Hubbard has been playing great basketball as of late, but the Indians have played at a very high level all season.

I think the Pirates have a chance to make things close and interesting, but I could also see Winnebago running away with things.

A lot of it depends on how well the Indians play, as well as how well Emerson-Hubbard plays.

If Winnebago takes the Pirates lightly, Emerson-Hubbard might be able to sneak up on the Indians.

But if Winnebago is ready to play, which I expect to be the case, then beating them might be out of the question.

The Emerson-Hubbard Girls also won the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament last week, topping Wakefield 63-24 Thursday night and Pender 57-54 on Saturday.

The Pirates led the Pendragons 14-8 at the end of one. Pender won the second quarter 17-13 to make it a 27-25 game at halftime.

The Pirates outscored the Pendragons 12-10 in the third quarter to extend their lead to 39-35 at the end of three.

Pender put up 19 fourth quarter points compared to 18 for Emerson-Hubbard.

The Pirates did a great job winning the tournament, but the game against the Pendragons was probably too close for comfort. Pender and Emerson-Hubbard could have another epic battle down the line.

The Pirates (10-1) travel to Winnebago (4-9) Tuesday night.

The Indians lost 61-45 at Oakland-Craig Saturday night.

Winnebago has lost four in a row, but despite their recent struggles, I feel the Indians are still a pretty decent team.

Winnebago is certainly capable of beating anyone they play, and if Emerson-Hubbard isn't on top of their game, this one could be interesting.

The Pirates should win as they have won 9 in a row.

Getting to 10 wins in a row would be a big deal for this team.

Emerson-Hubbard has a real tough game at Wynot on Saturday, and could use all the momentum they can get heading into that game.

At the same time, the Pirates can't be looking ahead to Saturday's game and overlook the Indians.

Emerson-Hubbard has to be focused and determined for 32 minutes when they play Winnebago.

The environment could very well be hostile, but the Pirates should be used to that by now given how good they are.

The biggest thing for Emerson-Hubbard is to go into Winnebago and win.

The Pirates don't have to win by 20, they just have to win by 1. A win is a win, and counts all the same.

Winnebago Boys beat Oakland-Craig; Girls lose to Knights

The Winnebago Boys continued their winning ways, defeating Oakland-Craig 91-48 on the road Saturday night.

The Indians led the Knights 27-16 after one. Winnebago won the second quarter 23-15 to go up 50-31 at halftime.

The Indians outscored Oakland-Craig 32-9 in the third quarter to lead 82-40 at the end of three.

Winnebago scored 9 fourth quarter points compared to 8 for the Knights.

I wasn't surprised by the result of this game at all. The Indians are a very good team.

Winnebago (14-0) hosts Emerson-Hubbard (4-7) Tuesday night.

The Pirates have won three in a row, defeating Homer 63-43 in the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament on Friday, and Wakefield 56-54 on Saturday, also in the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament.

Emerson-Hubbard has certainly started to play better basketball than they had been playing in the early part of the season.

The Pirates are not a team the Indians want or can afford to take lightly.

I'm not suggesting Winnebago is going to lose, because I don't see the Indians falling to Emerson-Hubbard, but in order to win big and in impressive fashion, the Indians have to be focused and ready to play.

I could see this game being closer than the experts think if Winnebago doesn't come ready to play.

I really don't see that being an issue though. The Indians have continued to bring it night in and night out, and I don't look for that to change Tuesday night.

Winnebago has something special going on here, and it's going to take a lot for somebody to knock off the Indians.

The Pirates have made some nice improvements, but not enough to beat Winnebago, in my opinion.

Emerson-Hubbard is doing some nice things right now, but I think they will definitely meet their match when they take the floor against the Indians.

Winnebago has Wynot on Friday so the Indians have a good chance to be 16-0 after this week.

The Winnebago Girls had a good showing at Oakland-Craig on Saturday, but lost 61-45 to the Knights.

Oakland-Craig led the Indians 20-9 at the end of one. The Knights won the second quarter 10-9 to lead 30-18 at halftime.

Oakland-Craig outscored Winnebago 14-5 in the third quarter to go up 44-23 at the end of three.

The Indians notched 22 fourth quarter points compared to 17 for the Knights.

Winnebago kept things somewhat respectable. I still think the Indians are a better team than their record indicates.

Winnebago (4-9) hosts Emerson-Hubbard (10-1) Tuesday night.

The Pirates beat Pender 57-54 on Saturday in the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament after downing Wakefield 63-24 in the Bob Clough Post Holiday Tournament on Thursday.

Emerson-Hubbard is a good team, but I think the Indians can compete with the Pirates, and give them a run for their money.

Winnebago is capable of beating just about anyone they play, and eventually things have to come together for this team.

This is a big week for the Indians. Winnebago has Guardian Angels Central Catholic on the road Thursday night, and Wynot on the road Friday night.

The schedule does the Indians no favors this week, but in order to be the best, you have to beat the best, and that's certainly the motto Winnebago has to play with this week.

I look for the Indians to play tough, optimistic basketball Tuesday night and the rest of the week.

I feel like Winnebago has a chance to keep things somewhat close and respectable with any of the three teams they play this week, although the GACC game will be very difficult.

It's time for the Indians to step things up. Winnebago has competed well at times this year, but has yet to put things together.

The Indians' losing streak is at four, and Winnebago just assumes see it end at that number with a big win Tuesday night.

Clarkson/Leigh Boys and Girls fall to North Bend Central

The Clarkson/Leigh Boys lost 64-50 at home to North Bend Central Tuesday night.

The Tigers held an 8-3 lead on the Patriots at the end of one. North Bend Central won the second quarter 18-16 to take a 26-19 lead into the locker room.

The Tigers outscored Clarkson/Leigh 19-11 in the third quarter to go up 45-30 at the end of three.

The Patriots notched 20 fourth quarter points compared to 19 for North Bend Central.

Kobe Paprocki led the way with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Colby Becker added 11 points while Ben McMullin notched 10 points and pulled down 8 rebounds. Dominik Harper totaled 7 points.

Clarkson/Leigh didn't play bad offensively against the Tigers. A number of players scored a lot of points as you can see. The problem was on defense, like it has been all season long for this team.

The Patriots (1-11) host Tekamah-Herman (2-9) Tuesday night.

The Tigers lost 60-43 at Lyons-Decatur Northeast Friday night.

Tekamah-Herman is led by Derek Haber and Gus Langley, who do the majority of the scoring for the Tigers.

Like I said in the Tekamah-Herman post, Clarkson/Leigh might be the more well rounded and better team offensively.

Both teams struggle to stop people.

This game could be decided by who wants it more and who plays better on both ends of the floor.

The Patriots have to clamp down defensively, and look to run offensively.

Clarkson/Leigh has to turn in one of their better performances of the season to come out on top.

The Patriots are due to break through, and I feel Clarkson/Leigh has a good chance to win Tuesday night.

It will be interesting to see what happens. I think a loss would be pretty devastating for the Patriots.

Clarkson/Leigh is due for and could really use a win.

The time is now for the Patriots to get the job done.

Tuesday night's game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull. The game is set to tip-off after the girls game, which is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.

The Clarkson/Leigh Girls lost 37-28 at home to North Bend Central Tuesday night.

The Tigers led the Patriots 4-3 at the end of one. Clarkson/Leigh won the second quarter 13-9 to go up 16-13 at halftime.

North Bend Central outscored the Patriots 13-9 in the third quarter to lead 26-25 at the end of three.

The Tigers put up 11 points in the fourth quarter, and held Clarkson/Leigh to 3.

Beth Wiese paced the Patriots with 11 points. Hannah Kasik added 10.

Clarkson/Leigh played better in this game than I thought they would. Even though the Patriots lost, they have to be encouraged by the way they played.

Clarkson/Leigh (3-9) hosts Tekamah-Herman (8-4) Tuesday night.

The Tigers lost 56-52 at Lyons-Decatur Northeast Friday night.

Tekamah-Herman is a good team, but the Patriots have to be confident in their abilities given the way they played against North Bend Central.

Clarkson/Leigh has to slow down Allie Snow, Jess Fleischman, and Hannah Tobin, among others.

Scoring is going to be a big deal in this game. The Patriots have to find a way to put the ball in the basket.

The Tigers are probably more polished offensively and have more scorers than Clarkson/Leigh.

That simply means the Patriots have to develop some scorers and breakout on offense.

We will see what Clarkson/Leigh can do Tuesday night. I think the Patriots have the potential to make this game close, but I could see Clarkson/Leigh getting blown out as well.

A lot of it is going to depend on how well the Patriots play and execute, in my opinion.

Clarkson/Leigh has to limit turnovers and take care of the ball. Getting to the charity stripe and knocking down free throws will be important for the Patriots as well.

It's the little things that could make a big difference in this game for Clarkson/Leigh.

Listen to Tuesday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m.

Tekamah-Herman Boys and Girls lose to Lyons-Decatur Northeast

The Tekamah-Herman Boys lost Friday night at Lyons-Decatur Northeast, falling 60-43.

The Cougars led 11-2 after one. Lyons-Decatur Northeast outscored the Tigers 18-11 in the second quarter to take a 29-13 lead into the locker room.

Tekamah-Herman won the third quarter 13-10 to make it a 39-26 game at the end of three.

The Cougars amassed 21 fourth quarter points while the Tigers scored 17.

Derek Haber had a team-high 21 points and 7 rebounds for Tekamah-Herman. Gus Langley added 12 points while Nick Bohannon notched 7 rebounds.

Haber and Langley were the only players to do any scoring for Tekamah-Herman. The Tigers need more than two players to produce to be successful.

Tekamah-Herman (2-9) battles Clarkson/Leigh (1-11) on the road Tuesday night.

The Patriots lost 64-50 at home to North Bend Central Tuesday night.

It has been a real struggle this season for the Patriots, although I feel like Clarkson/Leigh is a better team than their record indicates.

The Patriots have a number of players who can score, including Tony Bruhn, Kobe Paprocki, Ben McMullin, Dominik Harper, and Colby Becker.

The Tigers are sort of a two-man show while Clarkson/Leigh is a five or six man show most nights.

The Patriots may be a more well rounded team offensively, but both teams really struggle on defense.

Clarkson/Leigh might be a little bit better offensively than Tekamah-Herman, but this is a game that could go either way.

If the Tigers can get other players besides Haber and Langley to step up, they very well could win.

Tekamah-Herman has to be ready to play four quarters of outstanding basketball. This is a very winnable game for the Tigers, and their play has to reflect that they know that.

Tekamah-Herman can't afford to play sloppy and uninspired, and show up not ready to play.

The Tigers have to be ready to go from the get go, and have to be prepared to give the Patriots a tough game for four quarters.

Catch Tuesday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. It's scheduled to begin after the girls game, which is set to start at 6:00 p.m.

The Tekamah-Herman Girls lost a tough game at Lyons-Decatur Northeast Friday night, falling 56-52.

The Cougars led the Tigers 12-11 at the end of one. Lyons-Decatur Northeast outscored Tekamah-Herman 15-8 in the second quarter to lead 27-19 at halftime.

The Tigers won the third quarter 17-15 to make it a 42-36 game at the end of three.

Tekamah-Herman notched 16 fourth quarter points compared to 14 for the Cougars.

I must say I was surprised the Tigers lost to Lyons-Decatur Northeast. Give the Cougars credit for winning, but Tekamah-Herman should have done better, in my opinion.

The Tigers (8-4) battle Clarkson/Leigh (3-9) on the road Tuesday night.

The Patriots lost 37-28 at home to North Bend Central last time out.

That's honestly not a bad loss for Clarkson/Leigh though. Tekamah-Herman had better be ready to play or the Tigers could get stung by the Patriots.

I fully expect Tekamah-Herman to come out hungry and determined given what happened Friday night, but I look for Clarkson/Leigh to put up a fight as well.

I think the Tigers will win, but given how close the Patriots' last game was, you can't count out Clarkson/Leigh.

The Patriots are at home, and have played solid defense at times this season. Clarkson/Leigh's biggest issue has been scoring.

Tekamah-Herman needs to have a big game offensively and play well on defense.

This is one of those games the Tigers need to win big.

The last thing Tekamah-Herman wants is the Patriots hanging around and making it a game of things.

I look for the Tigers to win, but I think the game will be closer than a lot of people think. Like I was saying, Tekamah-Herman needs to win big, but I don't know if it will happen.

Tuesday night's game is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. It can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.

Guardian Angels Central Catholic Boys 2-2 in last four games; Girls 3-0 in last three

The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Boys were playing great basketball, but have all of a sudden hit a rough patch as the Bluejays have dropped their last two games.

The Bluejays won the Homer Holiday Tournament last week, defeating Howells-Dodge 72-35 last Tuesday and Bancroft-Rosalie 77-46 in the championship game last Wednesday.

GACC lost 59-51 at home to Norfolk Catholic on Saturday before falling 63-47 at Lutheran High Northeast Tuesday night.

The Bluejays led Howells-Dodge 19-9 at the end of one. GACC won the second quarter 16-11 to take a 35-20 lead into the locker room.

The Bluejays outscored the Jaguars 14-11 in the second quarter to make it a 49-31 game at the end of three.

GACC notched 23 fourth quarter points compared to just 4 for Howells-Dodge.

The Bluejays jumped out to a 22-6 lead on the Panthers at the end of one. GACC outscored Bancroft-Rosalie 29-14 in the second quarter to take a 51-20 lead into the locker room.

The Bluejays doubled up the Panthers 14-7 in the third quarter to lead 65-27 at the end of three.

Bancroft-Rosalie won the fourth quarter 19-12.

The Eagles led GACC 18-8 at the end of one. Lutheran High Northeast outscored the Bluejays 21-5 in the second quarter to take a 39-13 lead into the locker room.

GACC won the third quarter 8-7 to make it a 46-21 game at the end of three.

The Bluejays notched 26 fourth quarter points compared to 17 for the Eagles.

GACC didn't have their best against Lutheran High Northeast. I'm not totally sure what has happened to this team, but they're not playing the same kind of basketball they were prior to Saturday.

The Bluejays (8-3) host David City Aquinas (6-4) on Saturday.

The Monarchs beat Schuyler 46-31 on Thursday.

David City Aquinas is a quality team, but I feel this is a team GACC can beat and get back on track against.

The Monarchs have fallen to the tougher teams on their schedule this season, and I think the Bluejays could be the next quality team to knock them off.

GACC has to get back to playing at a high level though.

It's hard telling how the Bluejays played against the Knights, but the Lutheran High Northeast game was one to forget.

GACC has to get back to playing the type of basketball they did in the Holiday Tournament and before.

The Bluejays have to play with heart, hustle, great effort, toughness, grit, fire, and determination.

GACC has to play at a high level for four quarters, and must give maximum effort.

The Bluejays are much better than what they showed against the Eagles, and I look for GACC to have a bounce back game on Saturday.

The Bluejays have had more time to practice for this game than David City Aquinas has for them so that should help GACC.

We will see if the Bluejays can get back on track with a win on Saturday.

The Guardian Angels Central Catholic Girls have continued their dominant play, winning the Homer Holiday Tournament last week by knocking off Bancroft-Rosalie 64-17 last Tuesday and Howells-Dodge 65-48 last Wednesday in the championship game.

The Bluejays defeated Wahoo 60-28 on Saturday.

The Bluejays jumped out to a 26-2 lead after one and outscored the Panthers 16-7 in the second quarter to take a 42-9 lead into the locker room.

GACC won the third quarter to make it a 53-13 game at the end of three. The Bluejays also won the fourth quarter 11-4.

The Bluejays led the Jaguars 15-14 after one. GACC outscored Howells-Dodge 20-9 in the second quarter to go up 35-23 at halftime.

Both teams scored 12 third quarter points, and the score at the end of three was 47-35 in favor of the Bluejays.

GACC won the fourth quarter 18-13.


The Bluejays have continued to dominate. GACC has played superb and impressive basketball so far this season.

The Bluejays (9-0) host David City Aquinas (5-5) on Saturday.

The Monarchs beat East Butler 55-36 at home on Thursday.

David City Aquinas is a fairly respectable team, but they're nowhere near the level that GACC is playing at right now.

There are great teams, good teams, average teams, and below average teams, and the Bluejays are certainly a great team while it could be said the Monarchs are average.

GACC has prided themselves on the defensive end of the floor this season, and that's the biggest reason why they are as good as they are, in my opinion.

The Bluejays' offense has been potent as well, and GACC is just one of those teams that keeps coming at you relentlessly for four quarters.

The Bluejays have so many weapons at their disposal, and that makes them a very tough team.

It's almost not fair with how much talent and skill GACC has.

The Bluejays have an extremely difficult game at Bishop Neumann on Tuesday so it's very important for GACC to play well on Saturday to build and prepare for that game.

The last thing the Bluejays can afford is to be looking ahead to Tuesday's game.

I don't think GACC will be overlooking the Monarchs though. I'm sure the Bluejays will play as hard and well as they have all season.
