Kickapoo had won 20 straight at home dating back to last season, but on Thursday they bumped up to 22-0 to make it 21. They really took it to the Lebanon Yellowjackets for the full four quarters, racking up an 87-31 victory. The Chiefs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine matchups by 21 points or more this season.
As for Lebanon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost ten of their last 12 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-16 record this season. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Missouri basketball rankings (they are ranked 286th, while Kickapoo is ranked sixth).
Aleeah Kimball and Mithila Massey certainly did their best on Thursday to avoid the loss. Kimball dropped a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Massey posted four points. Kimball is becoming a predictor of Lebanon's success: when she posts at least ten boards the team is 2-1 (and 6-15 when she doesn't).
