The Clarkston Wolves will take on the Utica Eisenhower Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Clarkston proved they can win big on Wednesday (they won by 35) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Lake Orion 59-56. The Wolves haven't had any issues with the Dragons recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Meanwhile, Utica Eisenhower posted their closest victory since January 31, 2024 on Friday. They had just enough and edged out Stoney Creek 49-46. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Cougars are ranked 76th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Utica Eisenhower is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.6 points over those games. Clarkston pushed their record up to 17-7 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home.
