The Crocker Lions will face off against the St. Elizabeth Hornets at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Last Tuesday, Crocker humbled Laquey with a 93-66 victory.
Meanwhile, St. Elizabeth's undefeated season came to an end after three games on Thursday. They took a 73-66 hit to the loss column at the hands of Southern Boone. The Hornets haven't had much luck with the Eagles recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.
Despite their loss, St. Elizabeth saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Gavin Williams, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and ten rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. What's more, Williams also racked up eight assists, the most he's had since back in January. Another player making a difference was Blake Wobbe, who went 6 for 11 en route to 18 points.
Crocker barely slipped by St. Elizabeth in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, winning 64-63. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was St. Elizabeth's Nick Heckemeyer, who dropped a double-double on 18 points and ten rebounds. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Crocker still be able to contain Heckemeyer? There's only one way to find out.
