Clark hasn't dropped below three steals for five straight games. Imani McGlory was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 15 points and ten rebounds.

Everything came up roses for Shawnee Heights against the Chargers when the teams last played back in December of 2023 as the squad secured a 58-23 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Shawnee Heights since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
