The Halstead Dragons will head out to challenge the Pratt Greenbacks on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
On Friday, Halstead was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 52-46 to Trinity Academy. While losing is never fun, the Dragons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 210th, while the Knights are ranked 66th).
Meanwhile, Pratt ended up a good deal behind Collegiate on Saturday and lost 74-59. The loss was the Greenbacks' first of the season.
Halstead has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.6 points over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Pratt fell to 9-1.
Halstead might still be hurting after the 67-41 defeat they got from Pratt in their previous matchup back in January of 2025. Can the Dragons avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
