Washington is a perfect 10-0 against Pekin since February of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Panthers will venture away from home to face off against the Dragons at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Washington's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three contests.
On Wednesday, Washington took their matchup with ease, bagging an 89-27 win over Limestone. The Panthers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 15 games by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Pekin, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Saturday. They took down Champaign Central 58-42 on Monday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Dragons' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 103rd, while the Maroons are ranked 224th).

Everything came up roses for Washington against Pekin in their previous meeting back in December of 2025, as the team secured an 81-30 win.
