Pender (3-4) takes on Omaha Christian Academy (0-7) on the road Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Eagles fell 62-19 at home to Cedar Bluffs last week.
Honestly shouldn't be much of a game, but the Pendragons still have to go out there and play well.
Despite possibly finishing 4-4, it looks like Pender could very well miss the playoffs.
It's too bad too because there are a bunch of two win teams and a one win team from the West that could make the playoffs and teams like Pender and Wynot get left home.
It is what it is, but I'm willing to bet the Pendragons and Blue Devils are better than those teams.
It's frustrating, but all Pender can do is go out there and rout Omaha Christian Academy.
The Pendragons have to take their frustrations out on the Eagles, and make it a memorable potential last game.
Pender has to go out there and annihilate Omaha Christian Academy.
The Pendragons have to score early and often, and leave their mark in and on this game.
Pender has to go out there and play a great and amazing contest, and must take the fight to the Eagles.
The Pendragons have to look to score early and often and play shutdown defense.
If there's a silver lining to Pender possibly not making the playoffs it's their win over Emerson-Hubbard nearly knocked the Pirates out of the playoffs.
Emerson-Hubbard will need to beat Clarkson/Leigh in Friday night's regular season finale to hope to get in, and that is a very tall and daunting task for the Pirates for sure.
It will really be too bad if the Pendragons don't get into the playoffs because they are definitely worthy of making it in.
Pender hasn't played the toughest schedule though, and that's what it ultimately is going to come to if they don't get in.
It could ultimately be the demise for the Pendragons and cost them a trip to the postseason.
Thursday night's game is slated to kickoff at 7:00 p.m. with pregame beginning at 6:30 p.m. on the Bull.
