Heartland Christian unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. The match between them and the Colonial Christian Cougars didn't end well, with the Heartland Christian Saints falling 45-26. The Saints were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Cougars apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in February of 2021.
Colonial Christian was led to victory by Kate Minton and Stinna Grubb. Minton went 7 for 14 on her way to 14 points and eight rebounds, while Grubb dropped a double-double on 14 points and ten assists. Minton continues to improve, besting her previous point total in each of the last three games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Addie Gillen, who posted seven points and five rebounds.
Colonial Christian is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Heartland Christian will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Tabernacle Christian at 5:45 p.m. on January 24, 2025. Colonial Christian will also get a bit of a break before their next game: they'll face off against Indianapolis HomeSchool Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. on January 7, 2025. Colonial Christian's defense has only allowed 30 points per game this season, so Indianapolis HomeSchool Wildcats' offense will have their work cut out for them.
