If Pawnee City was riding high fresh off their 64-8 takedown of Parkview Christian last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Pawnee City Indians received a blow on Tuesday as they fell 53-35 to the Lourdes Central Catholic Knights. While losing is never fun, the Indians can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 205th, while the Knights are ranked 77th).
