The NCC Basketball Tournament pairings have been announced for the week of Jan. 23-28.

In an absolutely loaded 11-team boys bracket, The Falcons received the #7 seed and will play a play-in game on Monday 1/23 at home vs. #10 seed Columbus Scotus. If they were to win that contest, they would play at #2 seeded Wahoo Neumann the next night 1/24.

The girls open as the #10 seed out of 10 and are forced to play on the road Monday night at #7 seeded Lincoln Christian. With a vctory, the Saintes would then play Tuesday night at #2 seeded Fremont Bergan.

The road to a conference champioship will be a steep one for both squads as there are no less than 4 Top 5 Nebraska teams on the boys side and 3 Top 8 squads on the girls half.

Good luck to both teams; time for some of that SA Magic!
