Outlook:
Kaskaskia looks to recover after suffering their first loss at the hands of the Falcons of SIC on Wednesday night. Coach Hancock will have his Blue Devils ready to attack as the load up and head to Mattoon to play a Laker team that has yet to find the win column in league play. Coach Brown will have his Lakers fired up looking to get back to their winning ways from earlier in the season. Should be another GRAC battle that comes down to fundamentals and execution.

Outlook:
The Blue Storm will load up their charters and head east to Olney Central Saturday evening. The Storm winners of 3 straight look to keep the Knights of OCC winless in league play. Coach Harrington and the boys have won their last two games by 20 or more. The Blue Knights look to stop that streak, and start one of their own. The Knights have struggled early in the GRAC season falling to an early 0-2 start. They look to cool down the hot Storm Saturday night in the Dungeon
