If Tecumseh wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Lanesville, they should've done a better job of containing Nolin Pearce. The Lanesville Eagles enjoyed a cozy 83-69 victory over the Tecumseh Braves on Saturday thanks in part to Pearce, who went 7 of 15 to rack up 21 points along with seven assists and seven boards. The contest was his fourth in a row with at least 15 points.

Another player making a difference was Braydon Hodges, who posted eight points in addition to eight assists and eight rebounds. Those eight assists gave him a new career-high.

Lanesville has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a massive bump to their 5-11 record this season. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to three-point shooting accuracy: their three-point shooting accuracy was 46.3% in those games and 21.8% outside of them. As for Tecumseh, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last nine games, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-12 record this season.

Looking ahead, Lanesville will be playing in front of their home fans against South Central at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in South Central's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last nine contests. As for Tecumseh, they are taking a road trip to face off against Pike Central at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
