With E-M earning the C2 title last year, the East Central Nebraska Conference has had earned the honor of one of the best basketball conferences in this part of the state.
The Raiders qualified for the state tourney with the second of two wild card bids after losing to Bruning-Davenport in the district finals. As it turned out, three of the six district finals were decided by fewer than three points. Had the ball bounced the other way and another outcome resulted from those district games, Mead wouldn't have gotten the wild card and, therefore, no state championship.
Just goes to show you what happens when a team takes advantage of an opportunity. Mead has a championship and all the accolades that go with it. I was cheering for the Raiders all the way.... I've been impressed with the Johnson-Moline combo for the past three seasons and was happy for the duo and their coach, PJ Quinn.
