The Henry-Senachwine Mallards will head out on the road to face off against the LaMoille Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Last Friday, Henry-Senachwine was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 47-41 to Midland.

Their wins bumped Henry-Senachwine to 3-3 and Midland to 5-1.
Everything came up roses for Henry-Senachwine against LaMoille in their previous meeting back in December of 2022 as the squad secured a 66-36 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Henry-Senachwine since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
