The Clark Eagles will head out on the road to face off against the Kenwood Broncos at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Clark will head into Saturday's match hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 30-point drubbing they dealt Maine East on Saturday. Clark breezed by Maine East to the tune of 73-43. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 183rd, while the Blue Demons are ranked 447th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Kenwood had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.2 points) and they went ahead and made it seven on Monday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Trevians 69-66.
Clark is also on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests, which provided a nice bump to their 10-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.3 points per game. As for Kenwood, their win bumped their record up to 19-1.
Clark might still be hurting after the 86-66 defeat they got from Kenwood in their previous meeting back in December of 2021. Thankfully for Clark, Trey Pettigrew (who went 17 for 30 en route to 41 points and five boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
