Salina South vs. Salina Central

5:45 pregame/ 6:00 tipoff

When these two teams met to close out the first semester of basketball it was Central who came out on top, holding off the South boys for a four point and upsetting the South girls. Tonight's contest appears to highlight teams that are headed in different directions. In the girls contest, South has won four straight while Central has lost two straight. While the Lady Mustangs have lost their last two, they played McPherson to within one point and Friday and had a chance to beat the Lady Bullpups. South has continued to see improvements since they went 1-2 at the Newton Invitational and tonight we will see if Central can come up big from three point range like they did in the first upset. In the boys game, South enters tonight's contest winning two straight games, while Central has lost three of their last four, despite playing to within three points of McPherson on Friday. South will also have the added benefit of Demtrias Jones who was sidelined with an injury in the first meeting. Expect tonight to be another tight game.

Sacred Heart @ Beloit

5:50 pregame/ 6:00 tipoff

The Sacred Heart Knights will look to rebound from an overtime loss at Russell last Tuesday. The Knights have been off since that lost, which may have cost them a shot at an outright NCAA league title. Sacred Heart has to win out and hope that Minneapolis losses one along the way to regain complete control of title, otherwise the teams will have a shared title. Tonight, Beloit will present the toughest test left in the regular season for the Knights, as the Trojans are good team and Beloit is always a tough place to get a win at. In the girls game Beloit continues to play at a high level and the Sacred Heart girls will need one of their best performances on the year to get the upset.
