ROSEBURG – The Roseburg boy’s basketball team is riding high after snapping a five-game losing streak and pulling off a season sweep of the South Medford Panthers on Tuesday. The fifth place Indians will try to take that momentum into a home game against the fourth place Willamette Wolverines on Friday night.

Roseburg is 2.5 games behind Willamette for the final playoff spot in the Southwest Conference. Only the top four teams get an automatic bid to the post season and the Indians may not be able to climb high enough in the rankings by the end of the season to earn an at-large berth. With no margin for error, the Roseburg boys will likely be playing for their post lives over each of the final four games.

Roseburg and Willamette tipoff at 6:45 p.m. Tune in for the broadcast coverage starting at 6:30 p.m. on 1490 The Score or watch the game online at 541radio.com.

The Roseburg girls are still in the conversation for an automatic playoff berth out of the Southwest Conference and they’re high enough in the rankings for a decent shot at an at-large bid if they don’t finish in the top four of the conference.

The girls will need to get a win at Willamette Friday to keep their ranking up and stay in the postseason race. The game tips off at 6:45 p.m.

The Sutherlin basketball teams continue to play with first place on the line. The Bulldogs host the Sisters Outlaws on Friday. The Sutherlin girls are in a tie for first and need a win to stay there. The Sutherlin boys trail first place Sisters by one-game and need a win to move into a tie with the Outlaws.

The girl’s game tips off first at 5:45 p.m. and the boy’s game follows at 7:15 p.m. Coverage of the games starts at 5:30 p.m. on i101fm.

Douglas and South Umpqua meet in the Far West League. The Douglas girls are tied for first and the boys are in a three-way tie for third. The Trojans will need wins against the rival Lancers to stay in the playoff discussion. The games will be played in Winston, with the girls playing first at 6 p.m.
