Great job by the Pirates winning a couple of matches in this tournament. Hopefully it results in some momentum for Sub-Districts.
Speaking of Sub-Districts, Emerson-Hubbard (3-25) takes on Winside in the first round of D2-4 at Ponca Monday night.
The Wildcats beat the Pirates 2-0 twice in 4 days in mid-October.
Emerson-Hubbard certainly has their work cut out for them, but it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
The Pirates have to come out and fight and scrap harder than Winside.
Wynot is the top seed in this sub-district and is very good, but Emerson-Hubbard has to feel optimistic after Saturday and Monday.
I think the wins over Walthill show the Pirates' toughness and perseverance and ability to never give up and throw in the towel.
Mackling and Daum had great offensive performances in each match against the Blujays, and it really made a difference for this team, in my opinion.
Emerson-Hubbard needs to get a good performance from those two again Monday night.
It's do or die time for the Pirates...time to either win or go home.
Emerson-Hubbard has to play their hearts out and leave it all out on the floor.
The Pirates have to play with emotion and must hit the ball with authority and purpose.
Playing smart is going to be important for Emerson-Hubbard as well, in my opinion.
The Pirates have to minimize mistakes and make the Wildcats earn their points.
Emerson-Hubbard has to play their hearts out and play with and for each other.
The Pirates need to have good practices before Monday rolls around, and really believe that they can do this.
Anyone can beat anyone at any given time, and Emerson-Hubbard has to give Winside all they can ever want or handle and then some.
The match is scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m.
The winner gets either Wynot or the Bloomfield/Santee winner in Tuesday's Sub-District Final at 7:00 p.m.
