The Fairbury Jeffs will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Fillmore Central Panthers at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Fairbury is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against H&H. The Jeffs came out on top against the Bearcats by a score of 54-44 on Thursday.
Fairbury's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Brodie Prellwitz, who shot 50% from the field to rack up 23 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jerik Mans, who posted ten points along with five rebounds and three steals.
Meanwhile, Fillmore Central gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They walked away with a 51-42 victory over Milford. The Panthers haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive win against them.
Things could have been worse for Fairbury, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 47-30 loss to Fillmore Central in their previous matchup back in December of 2024. Thankfully for the Jeffs, Daniel Stoner (who dropped a double-double with 18 points and ten boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
