Boys pull out OT<br />

win, lose next two<br />

South Loup boys basketball<br />

had it’s ups and downs coming<br />

out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christmas break going<br />

1-2 in a grueling week.<br />

The Bobcats started with<br />

an amazing comeback, 56-50<br />

overtime victory over Amherst<br />

(7-3) on Jan. 3, in which Aaron<br />

Stryker scored 34 points.<br />

A visit to Sandhills/Thedford<br />

(9-2) was not quite so<br />

dramatic as <strong>the</strong> Knights kept<br />

Bobcat scoring down in a<br />

46-33 loss.<br />

Burwell’s (10-1) only loss<br />

came at <strong>the</strong> hands <strong>of</strong> topranked<br />

Ravenna. The Longhorns<br />

used <strong>the</strong>ir nimble height<br />

to roll over <strong>the</strong> Bobcats 55-39<br />

in a home game Saturday.<br />

South Loup (4-4) has come<br />

through a pretty tough schedule<br />

and Head Coach Jeff Cole<br />

said he is glad <strong>the</strong>y don’t have<br />

anymore Burwells on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

schedule. The rest is more<br />

doable.<br />

The Bobcats will be back<br />

on <strong>the</strong> road with a contest at<br />

Maxwell (4-7) on Friday <strong>the</strong><br />

13th and <strong>the</strong>n head back to<br />

Lincoln County for a go at a<br />

quality Brady team (9-1).<br />

Tuesday for a makeup<br />

game and <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> Bobcats hit<br />

<strong>the</strong> road Thursday for a shot<br />

at Litchfield/Ansley (3-7) at<br />

Litchfield.<br />

Cole said if <strong>the</strong> Bobcats play<br />

like <strong>the</strong>y did in <strong>the</strong> first quarter<br />

against Burwell, he likes <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

chances against anyone left on<br />

<strong>the</strong> schedule.<br />

South Loup vs. Burwell<br />

It certainly looked good<br />

as South Loup got up early<br />

leading 11-7. Eamon Schwarz<br />

put down a three and a two<br />

while Tanner Cline added four<br />

points on two buckets.<br />

But shortly into <strong>the</strong> second<br />

period, Burwell was up<br />

22-11.<br />

South Loup managed to<br />

keep pace until <strong>the</strong> Longhorns<br />

rattled <strong>of</strong>f a run shooting over<br />

defenders and using such<br />

unheard plays at this level<br />

as <strong>the</strong> alley-oop where <strong>the</strong><br />

point guard “shoots” toward<br />

a streaking post on <strong>the</strong> way<br />

up who catches and puts it<br />

home. The Bobcats saw this<br />

several times.<br />

Meanwhile, Burwell kept<br />

Stryker under wraps and out<br />

<strong>of</strong> rhythm on <strong>the</strong> outside.<br />

Schwarz and Stryker each<br />

finished with 7 points while<br />

Stryker also led rebounding<br />

with six for South Loup.<br />

Burwell out-rebounded <strong>the</strong><br />

Bobcats 35-25.<br />

“I thought o<strong>the</strong>r than rebounds,<br />

our kids played really,<br />

really well. We just lost <strong>the</strong> ball<br />

game. I thought <strong>the</strong>y left it all<br />

out on <strong>the</strong> floor so I was pretty<br />

pleased with <strong>the</strong>ir effort.”<br />

can start players all between<br />

6-foot-3 and 4 who are athletic,<br />

it’s pretty hard to stop.<br />

“They just have basketball<br />

bodies. And when <strong>the</strong>y can<br />

shoot and move like that, what<br />

are you going to do?”<br />

No shame in losing to a<br />

good club like that. Of note,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bobcats held Burwell to<br />

its second lowest point total<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> season. Ravenna held<br />

<strong>the</strong> Longhorns to 44.<br />

South Loup at S/T<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r tall team that was<br />

able to shoot over South Loup<br />

defenders, said <strong>the</strong> coach.<br />

The Knights jumped out<br />

early 14-4 but led just 17-10<br />

at <strong>the</strong> half and <strong>the</strong>n out-scored<br />

South Loup 29-23 to close out<br />

<strong>the</strong> game.<br />

Rebounding was again an<br />

issue as <strong>the</strong> Knights more<br />

than doubled up on <strong>the</strong> boards<br />

50-23.<br />

Stryker led Bobcat scoring<br />

with 12 points.<br />

“The kids gave a good effort<br />

but <strong>the</strong>y just couldn’t<br />

keep <strong>the</strong>m <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> glass,” Cole<br />

said.<br />

South Loup at Amherst<br />

Now if <strong>the</strong> last two games<br />

were a struggle, <strong>the</strong> overtime<br />

win versus Amherst was<br />

amazing.<br />

Stryker went 6-<strong>of</strong>-8 from 3<br />

point range, sank 8-0f-10 free<br />

throws and scored 34 points<br />

to bring <strong>the</strong> Bobcats back from<br />

47-40 to tie <strong>the</strong> game at 50 to<br />

put it OT.<br />

“We played a really good<br />

game,” Cole said <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bobcats.<br />

“They (Amherst) were a<br />

good ball club and <strong>the</strong> shots<br />

we made were all contested.<br />

That was probably <strong>the</strong> most<br />

complete game we’ve played<br />

and it doesn’t hurt that Aaron<br />

shoots 10-<strong>of</strong>-14 from <strong>the</strong> floor,<br />

ei<strong>the</strong>r. He was definitely in<br />

<strong>the</strong> zone.”<br />

South Loup jumped out<br />

early but lost intensity in <strong>the</strong><br />

next two periods falling behind<br />

41-36 at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> three.<br />

It <strong>the</strong>n mounted a 13-8 rally to<br />

put it into overtime and <strong>the</strong>n<br />

blanked <strong>the</strong> Broncos 6-0.<br />

Cole said that usually <strong>the</strong><br />

first team to score in OT has<br />

<strong>the</strong> advantage and that proved<br />

<strong>the</strong> case here.<br />

South Loup hit 14-<strong>of</strong>-19 free<br />

throws for 74% <strong>of</strong> which Justin<br />

Ross was clutch hitting 5-<strong>of</strong>-6<br />

including three in OT. He had<br />

nine points overall.<br />
