This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Fort Calhoun hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 58.5 points per game. It's a different story for Yutan, though, as they've been averaging only 35.8 points. The only thing between Fort Calhoun and another offensive beatdown is the Chieftains. Will they be able to keep them contained?
Fort Calhoun beat Yutan 45-38 when the teams last played back in December of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Pioneers since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
