Sacred Heart begins a stretch of five games in six nights with a doubleheader against Republic County.
The Knights were originally slated to host the Buffaloes on January 9th, but inclement weather forced the games to be rescheduled.
Girl's game: Sacred Heart (6-5, 0-3) vs.Republic County (0-11, 0-3)
Despite being winless so far this season, the Lady Knights won't be overlooking the Lady Buffs.
"Republic County is better than they were last year," Sacred Heart Head Coach Carl Hines said. "From what I've seen they play a 3-2 zone and extend it a bit. We have to work our offense to get good looks and play with pace to beat them down the court when we can."
Tip-off for the girl’s game is set for 6:00 pm from Salina.
Boy's game: Sacred Heart (10-1, 2-1) vs. Republic County (1-10, 0-3)
Despite their matchup with Republic County looking like a mismatch on paper, the Knights won't be taking Buffaloes lightly.
"Our team has struggled the past couple of years against Republic County," Sacred Heart Head Coach Brian Gormley commented. "We've not shot the ball well. Additionally, they're a young team, and they're in our substate, we're approaching it like a league game and need to take care of business."
Tip-off for the boy’s game is set for 7:30 pm from Salina.
