It is rivalry night for the Twin Cedars Basketball Squads as they make the trip to Southeast Warren to take on arch-rival Melcher-Dallas. While the Sabers girls will likely be a heavy favorite, Coach Zack Dunkin says he has seen too many Twin Cedars/Melcher-Dallas confrontations to know nothing is a given. The Sabers have been keyed by defensive play. In four of their six wins, they have held their opponents to below 30 points, and Melcher-Dallas girls have struggled to hit 30 this season. The boys may be a more even matchup as Twin Cedars is trying to stop a two-game losing streak to Mormon Trail and Moravia. Coach Brad McWilliams tells KNIA/KRLS Sports it is a matter of getting into the gym and working on things they need to improve.
McWilliams: “We need to spend a little more time working on our offense. When they put a little more pressure on us we need to learn how to pass out of that. We’ll work on mental stuff as much right now when we can get into the gym.”
Both games again, will take place at Southeast Warren High School with the girls game set to tip off at 6:30.
