The Metro-East Lutheran Knights will venture away from home to face off against the Granite City Warriors at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Metro-East Lutheran can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home last Monday. They took a hard 65-46 fall against Woodlawn. The Knights have struggled against the Cardinals recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, Granite City hadn't done well against O'Fallon recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Warriors had just enough and edged out the Panthers 59-56. The Warriors' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Metro-East Lutheran was able to grind out a solid win over Granite City when the teams last played back in December of 2024, winning 74-62. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was the Warriors' Evan Brewer, who dropped a double-double with 25 points and 16 rebounds. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Knights still be able to contain Brewer? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
