Meanwhile, McKay was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They were beaten by Corvallis 65-26. While losing is never fun, the Royal Scots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oregon basketball rankings (they are ranked 222nd, while the Spartans are ranked 31st).

Everything came up roses for Lebanon against McKay in their previous meeting back in January, as the team secured a 60-28 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Lebanon since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
