Legacy has gone 3-0 against Erie recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Legacy Lightning will be taking part in a tournament against the Erie Tigers at 4:30 p.m. Hopefully Legacy focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 20 on Thursday.
Legacy will head into Thursday's game ready to turn things around: they couldn't quite beat Eaglecrest on Thursday, but the two-point margin was a huge improvement compared to the 32-point loss they were dealt on Tuesday. Legacy fell just short of Eaglecrest by a score of 43-41. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Lightning have suffered since December 8, 2023.
Despite their loss, Legacy saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Jaedon Ward, who scored nine points in addition to two steals, was perhaps the best of all. Another player making a difference was Devan Kirchhevel, who had six points along with nine rebounds.
Meanwhile, Erie took care of business in their home opener on Friday (barely). They came out on top in a nail-biter against Chatfield , sneaking past 43-41. The squad ran away with 29 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those to pick up the victory.
Legacy didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Erie in their previous meeting back in January, but they still walked away with a 55-51 win. Does Legacy have another victory up their sleeve, or will Erie turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
