For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Kiona-Benton and Royal meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Bears lost 14-5 to the Knights. The Bears were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Knights apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Kiona-Benton has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-10-1 record this season. As for Royal, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 11-5.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: the Knights beat Kiona-Benton by a score of 4-2 later that day.
