Keep an eye on the arc in Tuesday's match: Fort Loramie have been dynamite from deep this season, having nailed 42% of their threes per game. It's a different story for St. Henry, though, as they've only made 36.3% of their threes per game this season. Given Fort Loramie's sizeable advantage in that area, St. Henry will need to find a way to close that gap.
Fort Loramie beat St. Henry 67-57 in their previous matchup back in December of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fort Loramie since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
