The Homer Knights will take on the Randolph Cardinals at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Homer has now lost eight straight, leaving the team hunting for their first win since December 12.
Last Tuesday, Homer took a blow against Pender, falling 70-31. While losing is never fun, the Knights can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 257th, while the Pendragons are ranked 31st).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Randolph). They simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat Niobrara/Verdigre 68-34. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cardinals considering their 25-point performance the match before.

The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.7 points per game. As for Homer, their loss dropped their record down to 2-10.
