Great play from the Pendragons!

Pender (15-4) hosts Madison (5-13) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament Friday night.

The Pendragons should win this one relatively easy and set up what is likely to be a Quarterfinal Matchup against Clarkson/Leigh in North Bend on Monday.

That one would be a barn burner as both teams are playing really well right now.

The Patriots have won four straight since falling to Pender so it would be an incredible game again no doubt.

Friday’s game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.
