Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Concord Christian will take on First Baptist Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. First Baptist Academy is still on the hunt for that elusive first 'W'. As for Boyd-Buchanan, they will head out on the road to take on St. Andrews-Sewanee at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. St. Andrews-Sewanee is on a three-game streak of home wins, Boyd-Buchanan a three-game streak of away wins -- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the court.
