The West Point-Beemer Cadets saw their season come to an end Thursday night as they lost 56-20 at Norfolk Catholic.
It was definitely a disappointing end to what was a respectable season for West Point-Beemer.
The Cadets end the year at 4-5.
West Point-Beemer's two biggest wins of the year came over North Bend Central and Fort Calhoun. Those two wins were program building wins, and wins the Cadets can build off of heading into next season.
I'm sure West Point-Beemer would have liked to have finished the season much stronger though. It appears the Cadets never recovered from their 4th quarter collapse against Wayne.
The end of the this season can serve as a learning point for next season though. If anything I'm sure it leaves West Point-Beemer hungry and wanting more. I look for the Cadets to do better next year because of it.
West Point-Beemer was a really young team this year. The Cadets say goodbye to seniors Jackson Hoffman, Dylan James, Riley Berg, Alex Landholm, Santiago Perez, Sean Siebrandt, and Thomas Eckmann.
These 7 seniors meant a lot to the program, and will be deeply missed.
With that said, the Cadets return a lot of talent next year.
Back will be Ben Vander Griend, Kade Hughes, Blake Anderson, Cole Hughes, Hunter Pilakowski, Chase and Austin Streeter, Gavin Case, and others.
I think the future looks good for West Point-Beemer Football. Going 4-5 with a chance to make the playoffs until the last game of the year is a pretty good accomplishment for a team as young as the Cadets were.
The biggest thing will be replacing Berg at running back, but I'm sure Head Coach Troy Schlueter will have a plan come August.
With the exception of the way the season ended, I thought it was a good year for West Point-Beemer. I think the Cadets won some games they would have lost in the past.
I look for West Point-Beemer to be very competitive again in 2017 and make another push for the playoffs.
