The Canton Little Giants will challenge the Limestone Rockets at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
On Saturday, Canton was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 47-41 to Macomb. While losing is never fun, the Little Giants can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 415th, while the Bombers are ranked 168th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Limestone). They claimed a resounding 79-52 victory over Delavan. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Rockets have posted since November 29, 2024.
The victory made it two in a row for Limestone and bumps their season record up to 13-15. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 69.5 points over those games. As for Canton, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches, which has put a noticeable dent in their 11-17 record this season.
Canton might still be hurting after the 62-39 defeat they got from Limestone when the teams last played back in January. Will Canton have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other basketball content.
