I believe 6:30 and the boys game will follow after that.

Central Cass by 10

[ClassBEast]

The varsity girls play the last game, so about 7:45.

I was only one point off in my prediction of the Central Cass/Carrington game, so let's see if I can do it again.

Central Cass 62
Grafton 41

[wolves65]

it all depends on how CC handles the press and how they defend the 3-ball. CC gives Grafton some match-up problems but that turns around on the other end. CC has had a long week and no telling how they come out of the kindred game. I think this will be close 10 or less but CC wins.

[ClassBalways]

Heard the boys will be closing out the night because it is the last home game for the boys. So girls at 6.

21 points! Oooh man, not much love for my lady Spoilers! Well, I'm not gonna say that Grafton can knock em off, but I'm gonna pick it closer than that. I think Grafton gives CC the closest game they have had so far this season. I'll take the Spoilers and 10 points.

I'm just going off the Central Cass activities calendar which is "supposed" to be updated and accurate, but I guess it wouldn't be the first time it was wrong.

[wolves65]

boys are first girls are second.

Great game to watch! It's been a long week (4 games in 6 days, 2 of them to ranked teams), but I think the Squirrels played well and fought until the end. Maybe we will get a rematch with Grafton in Bismarck.

real glad I stuck around after the boys game and watched this one. great basketball game. both teams seemed to answer each other, shot for shot. central cass looked real bad on defense. kraft and dixon looked real slow compared to grafton's post players. not a bad loss for the squirrels. they can now re-set, finish out the regular season, and re-focus towards their ultimate goal. Won't be surprised if both of these teams are out in Bismarck a little over a month from now.

Sounds like it was a great game! Did Grafton's post players post up on CC, or did they get just get them in a running game where outside shooting was involved? I think CC could be unstoppable, unless you can get their post players to start shooting 3 pointers. Haven't had a chance to look at box scores.

[wolves65]

Where grafton got CC in trouble was off the dribble not in post defense. Both Kraft and Dixon had foul issues so had to play a bit softer than normal and Grafton has a speed advantage. One of the most enjoyable games of BB I have every watched. Two very well coached and skilled teams that played hard all night congrats to both clubs and hope they get to play again.
