Having just played yesterday, the Keystone Wildcats will get right back to it and host the Western Reserve Roughriders at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Keystone had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 34-point drubbing they dealt Black River on Friday. The Wildcats claimed a resounding 85-51 win over the Pirates. The victory continues a trend for the Wildcats in their matchups with the Pirates: they've now won six in a row.

Keystone was able to grind out a solid win over Western Reserve when the teams last played back in December of 2024, winning 78-67. Do the Wildcats have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Roughriders turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
