Central Plains is 9-1 against Kinsley since February of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The two teams will face off at 7:00 p.m. without much rest, having both just played. The timing is sure in Central Plains' favor as the team sits on 11 straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Kinsley has been banged up by 17 consecutive losses on the road also dating back to last season.

Last Thursday, Central Plains didn't have too much trouble with Canton-Galva as they won 52-35. Given the Oilers' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 83rd, while the Eagles are ranked 224th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Kinsley lost 60-38 to Victoria on Thursday.

Central Plains has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4 record this season. Kinsley's loss dropped their record down to 2-17.

Everything came up roses for Central Plains against Kinsley in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, as the squad secured a 47-17 victory. Will Central Plains repeat their success, or does Kinsley have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
