After playing three games in four nights to start the new year, the Sacred Heart Knights took a long, unexpected break. The Knights weren't scheduled to be in a midseason tournament, but the weather also postponed two additional games. As a result, Sacred Heart will be back on the floor Tuesday for the first time in 18 days.
Girl's game: Sacred Heart (5-4, 0-2) vs. Beloit (7-4, 2-1)
"The lay off is a blessing and a curse," said Sacred Heart Girls Head Coach Carl Hines. "It allowed us to rest and heal. Anytime you don't play in January for about 3 weeks it's not a normal so we need to shake the rust off as quick as possible."
The Sacred Heart girls expect a tough matchup with Beloit especially being on the road.
"Beloit is big, physical and well-coached," Coach Hines continued. "They will try to beat us up on the inside. It will be a typical dogfight of a league game on the road. "We have to match their physicality to give ourselves a chance at the end."
Tip-off for the girl’s game is set for 6:00 pm from Beloit.
Boy's game: Sacred Heart (9-0, 2-0) vs. Beloit (10-1, 3-0)
The Sacred Heart boys remain unbeaten at 9-0 as they face a tough Beloit team alongside them at the top of the NCAA league standings. The only blemish on the Trojans' record is a tournament loss on January 20 to 6A Olathe North.
Tip-off for the boy’s game is set for 7:30 pm from Beloit.
