As for Messmer, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 matches, which provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Milwaukee Riverside will square off against Racine Case at 7:15 p.m. on Monday. One thing working in Racine Case's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 11 games. As for Messmer, they will challenge Catholic Central at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Messmer knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 15 contests -- so hopefully Catholic Central likes a good challenge.
