One week after a tense one point victory over Rockhurst High School, the Lancers will face another challenging opponent, the Olathe North Eagles.  The two teams’ records are matched at 10-3 going into tonight’s game.

Last week’s win over the Hawklets was the fourth time this season a game was decided by three points or less. East won three out of those four games.

The Lancers are undefeated on their own court this season and look to continue that streak in a home game for East.

Olathe North thrives on the physical play of #50, Mason Hughes.  A tight end during a football season, Hughes is listed at 6’8’’ and is assisted by fellow senior leaders Julian Winton and Josh Burk at the guard positions.

Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m. in East’s main gym.  The theme for fans attending the game is Hawaiian.  A live broadcast of the game will be available through smeharbinger.net.
