Basketball Game Preview: Sunnyside Christian Knights vs. La Salle Lightning

The Sunnyside Christian Knights will take on the La Salle Lightning at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

The home team had won the previous three meetings between Sunnyside Christian and Yakama Nation Tribal, and Yakama Nation Tribal kept the tradition alive. The Knights came up short against the Eagles on Friday, falling 57-31.

Meanwhile, La Salle unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a blow against Columbia on Saturday, falling 68-10.

Sunnyside Christian didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against La Salle in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, but they still walked away with a 46-40 win. Will the Knights repeat their success, or do the Lightning have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
