The Norwich Eagles will square off against the Spearville Lancers at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Norwich will roll into the contest after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any points two weeks ago, then bounced right back against Fairfield on Friday. Norwich simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Fairfield 73-45. The win continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Falcons: they've now won nine in a row.
Meanwhile, Spearville had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They were the clear victor by a 65-45 margin over Elkhart on Tuesday. Given the Lancers' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 92nd in Kansas, while the Wildcats are ranked 271st in Kansas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Spearville has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 34.3 points. Norwich pushed their record up to 14-2-1 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road.
