If Knox County was riding high fresh off their 71-9 takedown of Heartland Christian Academy last Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The contest between the Knox County Eagles and the Westran Hornets didn't end well, with the Knox County Eagles falling 46-32. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Missouri basketball rankings (they are ranked 385th, while the Hornets are ranked 168th).
Knox County has been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-9 record this season. As for Westran, they pushed their record up to 11-7 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.

La Plata will roll in looking for their fifth straight victory, something Knox County surely won't give up without a fight.
