Bishop Noland Episcopal Day is a perfect 3-0 against Midstate Homeschool since November of 2023 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Eagles will head out to square off against the Storm at 7:00 p.m. Bishop Noland Episcopal Day will be strutting in after a victory while Midstate Homeschool will be coming in after a defeat.

While Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Monday's season opener. They claimed a resounding 65-11 win over Lake Area HomeSchool Sports. Winning may never get old, but the Eagles sure are getting used to it with their ninth in a row dating back to last season.

Bishop Noland Episcopal Day's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jacob Buckhalter led the charge by going 6-for-7 en route to 14 points and five steals. Those five steals gave Buckhalter a new career-high. Ollie Lejune was another key player, as he made all 7 shots he took racking up 14 points.

Meanwhile, Midstate Homeschool was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They took a blow against Christian Home Educators Fellowship, falling 65-35.

Bishop Noland Episcopal Day was able to grind out a solid victory over Midstate Homeschool when the teams last played back in November of 2024, winning 64-52. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Storm's Nehemiah Hackman, who dropped a double-double with 17 points and ten boards. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for the Eagles to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
