The LaBrae Vikings will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against the Crestwood Red Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. LaBrae will be strutting in after a victory while Crestwood will be coming in after a loss.
LaBrae is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Cardinal. The Vikings put the hurt on the Huskies with a sharp 54-28 win on Friday. The Vikings haven't had any issues with the Huskies recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Meanwhile, Crestwood unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were just a bucket shy of victory on Saturday and fell 42-41 to Mogadore.
LaBrae will need to focus on slowing down Livia Martini, one of several Crestwood players who made an impact when they last played. She posted four points and 11 steals. Martini is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed three or more in each of the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Madiegrace Gonczy was another key player, putting up 12 points.
LaBrae couldn't quite get it done against Crestwood when the teams last played back in December of 2024 as they fell 52-43. Thankfully for the Vikings, Hannah Ward (who earned 20 points and seven boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
