Basketball Game Preview: Terra Ceia Christian Knights vs. Heritage Christian Academy Patriots

Terra Ceia Christian has gone a perfect 4-0 against Heritage Christian Academy recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Knights will host the Patriots at 7:30 p.m. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Terra Ceia Christian is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Pungo Christian Academy. The Knights snuck past the Raiders with a 61-56 victory on Friday.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Terra Ceia Christian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Aidan Persons, who went 10-for-17 en route to 26 points and seven boards. Persons is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Seth Meijer was another key player, almost dropping a double-double with nine points and 16 rebounds.

Heritage Christian Academy hadn't beaten Ahoskie Christian on the road since December 3, 2019 but that history sure didn't bother them on Saturday. The Patriots escaped with a win against Ahoskie Christian by the margin of a single free throw, 51-50.

Terra Ceia Christian strolled past Heritage Christian Academy in their previous meeting back in February by a score of 59-45. Will the Knights repeat their success, or do the Patriots have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
