The Concordia Mustangs are taking a road trip to challenge the Yutan Chieftains at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Concordia comes in on three and Yutan on eight.
Concordia proved they can win big on Wednesday (they won by 48) and on Saturday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Doniphan-Trumbull 50-47. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Mustangs' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 58th, while the Cardinals are ranked seventh).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Yutan). They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 70-28 win over Raymond Central. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Chieftains had established a 33-point advantage.
Concordia's victory bumped their record up to 7-2. As for Yutan, their win bumped their record up to 8-0.
Concordia didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Yutan in their previous matchup back in January of 2025, but they still walked away with a 44-40 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
