Basketball Game Preview: North Pole Patriots vs. Grace Christian Grizzlies

The North Pole Patriots and the Grace Christian Grizzlies will face off at 7:15 p.m. on Friday without much rest having both just played. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.

North Pole had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 78-74 hit to the loss column at the hands of Mt. Edgecumbe. The Patriots have struggled against the Braves recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.

Meanwhile, Grace Christian gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They breezed by Tikigaq to the tune of 95-36.

Things could have been worse for North Pole, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 68-54 loss to Grace Christian in their previous matchup back in January of 2017. Can North Pole avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
