The Harper Hornets will challenge the Notus Pirates at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Harper unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of Compass Charter by a score of 52-50 on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat the Hornets have suffered since January 9th.
Meanwhile, Notus didn't have too much trouble with Vision on Friday as they won 84-70.
Harper better keep an eye on Caleb Cudaback. He was instrumental in Notus' win, almost dropping a double-double with 27 points and nine boards. Those 27 points gave Cudaback a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Derrick Huter, who posted 12 points along with seven assists and six rebounds.
Harper was dealt a bruising 64-32 loss at the hands of Notus when the teams last played back in December of 2024.
