The Jenny Ed Sports Med MAC Shootout will have two final games on Monday night after wrapping up their original schedule on Saturday night. Four games were wiped out due to weather conditions on Thursday: Tri-Center vs. Logan-Magnolia girls and boys and Lourdes Central Catholic vs. Thomas Jefferson girls and boys were cancelled Thursday. With those cancellations, event organizers were able to schedule two games to be played tonight that will feature two of those teams. The Tri-Center Trojans will face the Thomas Jefferson Yellow Jackets in a girls and boys game. The girls game is set for a 5:30pm tip-off and the boys will follow with a 7:00pm start.

The rest of the weekend schedule went on as planned with 13 games being played between Friday and Saturday. We had coverage of the first two games as Underwood took both games of a doubleheader with Riverside. The Eagles took the girls game  54-17 behind 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 steals from Karley Larson. Lauren Shapcott was just shy of a double-double with 14 points and 9 rebounds as the Eagles improved to 10-4.

Underwood ran away with a win in the boys game as well 71-37. It was only an 8 point lead at halftime but the Eagles outscored the Bulldogs 29-3 to take full control of the game and a running clock came into play in the fourth quarter. Thomas Conn had 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals to lead the Eagle victory. Underwood improved to 8-5 with the win.

We picked up our coverage again on Saturday with the Fremont-Mills Knights boys picking up a 56-34 win over the Louisville, NE Lions. The Knights steadily increased their lead throughout the game and shared the ball very well. Jaeger Powers had 14 points to lead the Knights. Mason Vanatta had 10 points and 9 rebounds, Austin Gartner and Eli Owen each added 9 points for F-M.

The next game up was the AHSTW Lady Vikes taking on the Bennigton, NE Badgers. Both teams struggled offensively throughout the game. The Lady Vikes took a one point lead into the final quarter but the Badgers would have a big final period to take the win 42-31. Bailey Jones had a monster fourth quarter for Bennington with 10 points in the period on her way to 16 overall that lead all scorers. Jones hit two big three-pointers in that fourth quarter burst. Kinsey Scheffler had 7 points and 14 rebounds in the loss for AHSTW.

Our final coverage game from the event had the Atlantic Trojans boys sqauring off against the Bishop-Neumann, NE Cavaliers. That game also proved to be an offensive struggle for both teams and it was a 22-all game at halftime. Bishop-Neumann built a lead as big as 14 in the third quarter at 41-27. The Trojans went on an 18-5 run from that point that brought them within one at 46-45 but that’s as close as they would get. Bishop-Neumann hit some big shots and milked away the clock down the stretch to pull off a 50-46 win. Trey Ahrens led the Cavaliers with 17 points, including a big three off a scramble situation in the fourth quarter. Scott Leonard led Atlantic with 21 points and 11 rebounds. The Trojans suffered their second close loss in as many nights after falling 59-54 at Lewis Central on Friday night.

The Saturday slate featured 9 games that were all border battle games facing Iowa teams against Nebraska squads. Iowa teams took the first four games but then Nebraska teams won the last 5 to take the border battle series 5-4.
