State Tournament Trail.....Classes C-1, C-2, D-1 and D-2... THE FORECAST.

After all these calculations, I can’t see why there is any logical reason to hold off on these………The Green light Is ON, so just how DID “The System” spit it out? Only 2 weeks of regular season left and it’s the right time, right place to test the logic.

Ready or not, right or wrong, here it is:

CLASS C-1 Subs

Class A and B State Tournament Predictions - Updated

It’s been two weeks since I have checked the “System” and how the high school basketball crystal ball is shaping up . A few things have changed in the 2 largest classes as far as predicting how the State Tournament will formulate and eventually turn out, so let’s turn the clock ahead once again and peer at how accurate this “system” is to this point in time. It’s getting awful close now, basketball fans!

GINW Rally Falls Short as Holdrege Prevails.

From my little cubby hole high above the floor at Northwest’s gym the temperature felt very comfortable, but from down on the floor during the first quarter of the Northwest-Holdrege boys basketball game it must have felt like the North Pole to the Vikings Monday night. An zilch from the floor 1st stanza, aided by a pressuring Duster man-to-man defense, left GINW with a 46-38 loss in the 1st Round of the Central Conference Basketball Tournament. The Vikings suffered through an 0-9 from the field… Continue

GICC Controls 1st Half, Gains 60-50 win over Unbeaten Adams Central

Grand Island Central Catholic eats, sleeps and breathes defense and Hastings Adams Central got a huge dose of that medicine in the first half as the Crusaders limited Class B’s 6th rated Patriots to just two 1st quarter points and only 10 at the halftime break. In a battle of the unbeatens before a standing room only crowd at GICC, the Crusaders controlled the pace, jumped to a 22-10 lead halfway home and then withstood a furious second half by the pressuring Patriots, and came away with a 60-50… Continue

HOLY 85 FOOTER, Greeley-Wolbach prayer goes through, but doesn't count....GI Heartland Lutheran survives

Oh my goodness, you should have been there. How important is the clock that registers 10th of seconds? Better yet, how important is the clock operator?

Grand Island Heartland Lutheran survived an 83 Foot desperation shot after the buzzer by Greeley-Wolbach junior, Dustin Nordhues to earn a hard fought 56-53 win over the Titans and a trip to the Finals against unbeaten… Continue
