The Halstead Dragons and the Augusta Orioles, after both having extra time off, will shake off the rust and duke it out at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Halstead will come into the contest with an undefeated record on the line.
Halstead had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 24-point drubbing they dealt Smoky Valley last Friday. The Dragons put the hurt on the Vikings with a sharp 49-25 win. Given the Dragons' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 29th, while the Vikings are ranked 200th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, the third road game was the charm for Augusta, as they earned their first away victory of the season. Everything went their way against Winfield last Friday as they made off with a 43-20 win. The Orioles haven't had any issues with the Vikings recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Halstead's win bumped their record up to 6-0. As for Augusta, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-4.
