Pillager is 10-0 against Sebeka since January of 2020 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. The Pillager Huskies will host the Sebeka Trojans at 7:30 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Sebeka managed a 66-61 win over Menahga. The Trojans' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.

Pillager better focus on containing Max Lake and Gunnar Ament as the pair were huge in Sebeka's win. Lake posted 17 points in addition to five boards and four steals, while Ament went 6 for 10 en route to 18 points and six rebounds. Lake is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in the last three games he's played.
