This is a reschedule from earlier in the year. Troy has great guards and will be able to keep up with Rock Bridge on that front. [player_tooltip player_id='351752' first='Jayda' last='Porter'] is likely to be the difference maker however. If she has a great night it could propel Rock Bridge to a big win. Both of these teams have been impressive so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Principia vs. John Burroughs (January 23rd)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burroughs is the favorite in this one but it's a high quality private school matchup between two favorites to win state. Burroughs is battle tested in Class 4 and will be a tough matchup for Principia who are young and headed in a great direction. One storyline to watch will be how [player_tooltip player_id='782644' first='Dasia' last='Scott'] fares against a loaded team. The 2027 prospect can do everything on the floor and has been a freshman sensation.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Boonville vs. Fatima (January 25th)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A solid game in the middle of the state. Boonville is 12-4 while Fatima is 13-4 on the season. This will be a highly competitive game in front of a large crowd. Boonville does a good job of playing a full four quarters and they're a team with a large margin of victory on the year. As for Fatima they're a little more defensive oriented and have a great player in [player_tooltip player_id='644022' first='Allie' last='Robertson'] who can carry the scoring load.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lee's Summit North vs. Kickapoo (January 25th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two of the best teams in Class 6 will play this Thursday. Kickapoo has been dominant with a 16-1 record while LSN stands at 10-5. Kickapoo plays so well together. Their chemistry is second to few teams around the state and they have a strong offense. LSN is very talented and will need to play their best game in this one. They're capable and can be disruptive on defense. This is expected to be a very good game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
