The Bennington girls' basketball team will open sub-state play at home as the 2-seed on Tuesday when they welcome in the 7-seed in Marion.
The Lady Bulldogs will come into this contest at 15-5 having won five of their last six while the Lady Warriors enter at 6-14 after dropping seven of their last nine.
This game will provide Bennington with an opportunity to avenge one of their only five losses on the year, as they fell at the hands of the Warriors 37-34 in Marion back in early January.
The winner of this contest will advance to the sub-state semis to take on either 13-7 Chase County or 8-12 Herington.
On the other side of the bracket, the top seed in Hillsboro (17-3) will host Northern Heights (6-14), with the winner of that game awaiting either Sacred Heart (11-9) or Ell-Saline (9-11) in the other semifinal.
Tip-off between the Lady Bulldogs and Warriors is scheduled for 7:00 at Bennington High School.
