The Eisenhower Knights will face off against the Wilmington Greyhounds at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Eisenhower is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 55.6 points per game this season.

Eisenhower heads in on the heels of a playoff match on Wednesday. They took a hard 57-42 fall against Kennedy Catholic. While losing is never fun, the Knights can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 274th, while Kennedy Catholic are ranked 71st).

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Clara Steinberg, who shot 47% from the field to rack up 17 points. That was a full 40.5% of Eisenhower's points, marking the 22nd time in a row Steinberg has posted more than a third of the team's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Laney Belcher, who earned nine points.

Even though they lost, Eisenhower was working as a unit and finished the game with ten assists. This was only their third loss (out of 20 games) when they've passed the ball that well.

Meanwhile, Wilmington came up short against Lakeview on Wednesday and fell 58-46.

Wilmington has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 20-4 record this season. Eisenhower's loss dropped their record down to 17-7.
