Chester came into Tuesday's contest having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. In a tight game that could have gone either way, they made off with a 37-36 win over the Leggett Pirates. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Yellowjackets also won the last time the pair played back in January of 2025.

Another player making a difference was Priscilla Henderson, who posted six points in addition to ten steals and five boards.
