The Lakes Eagles and the Jacobs Golden Eagles will face off at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday without much rest, having both just played. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Lakes' tournament run continued when they took on Northside on Tuesday. The Eagles breezed past the Mustangs to the tune of 71-33.
Meanwhile, Jacobs posted their closest win since January 18th on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Buffalo Grove, sneaking past 45-42. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Golden Eagles.
Jacobs' win came from a few key players Lakes will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Malachi Bell, who posted 14 points and five boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Elijah Bell, who went 7-for-17 on his way to 15 points and four steals.
The victory got Lakes back to even at 1-1. Jacobs has also opened the season with a perfect 2-0 record.
Lakes might still be hurting after the 50-28 defeat they got from Jacobs in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. Thankfully for the Eagles, Ben Jurzak (who shot 54% from beyond the arc en route to 25 points and four steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
