The Sigourney Savages are taking a road trip to square off against the Cardinal Comets at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Sigourney has three straight wins, Cardinal has nine straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Sigourney will head into Friday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 52) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past English Valleys 46-43.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 73-26, which was the final score in Cardinal's tilt against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Comets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 132nd, while the Rockets are ranked fourth).
