The Kendrick Cherokees will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Greenville Patriots at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Kendrick lost 54-30 to Brookstone on Monday. The loss continues a trend for the Cherokees in their meetings with the Cougars: they've now lost five in a row.
Meanwhile, Greenville gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They blew past Crawford County 69-23. The Patriots haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Greenville's win came from a few key players Kendrick will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Daliyah Ellison, who almost dropped a double-double with 16 points and nine boards. She has been hot for a while, having also posted two or more steals the last 12 times she's played. Another player making a difference was Jamya Kelley, who posted 25 points and three steals.
Kendrick was dealt a bruising 57-9 defeat at the hands of Greenville in their previous meeting back in December of 2024.
