Basketball Game Preview: Start Spartans vs. Northview Wildcats

The Start Spartans will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Northview Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. on Monday.

Start is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They were beaten by Lima Senior 105-45 on Friday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.

Meanwhile, Northview strolled into their game on Thursday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They walked away with a 44-36 win over Napoleon. While Northview didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-13), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Start beat Northview 64-53 when the teams last played back in December of 2024. Do the Spartans have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Wildcats turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
