The Alliance Bulldogs are in a hunt for a District Final in Class B girls' basketball, but the first step is getting a big win in the Sub-District first round against Western Conference foe Gering in Scottsbluff on Monday.
Alliance is coming off an away win nine days ago at Lexington 53-18 to improve to 8-15, while Gering is 6-16 after a 67-47 loss to North Platte to end the regular season.
Alliance will try to avenge an opening season loss 49-41 to Gering and hopes to face a Scottsbluff team in the Sub-District Final on Tuesday.
Alliance is currently ranked 18th in the Class B RPI, and a win over Gering would put them right around the bubble to make a District Final, and then would face Scottsbluff on Tuesday for an outright shot at District Final featuring the top 16 teams in Class B.
