Basketball Game Preview: Maize Eagles vs. Shawnee Mission South Raiders

The Maize Eagles will challenge the Shawnee Mission South Raiders at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Maize's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 15 matchups.

Maize is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They came out on top against Northwest by a score of 75-64. The game was the first time the Eagles have beaten the Grizzlies on their court since January 21, 2021.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shawnee Mission South). Everything went their way against Olathe South on Friday as Shawnee Mission South made off with a 79-54 win. Winning may never get old, but the Raiders sure are getting used to it with their seventh in a row.

Maize is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.4 points over those games. Shawnee Mission South's victory bumped their record up to 20-1.
