Basketball Game Preview: Van Buren Crusaders vs. Katahdin Cougars

The Van Buren Crusaders will challenge the Katahdin Cougars at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Van Buren is leaving town to face Katahdin after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Van Buren was outmatched by Hodgdon and fell 71-9. The Crusaders haven't had much luck with the Hawks recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.

Meanwhile, Katahdin had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Schenck 52-49. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Cougars have posted since December 11, 2023.

Van Buren was taken down by Katahdin 76-18 in their previous meeting back in January. Can Van Buren avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
