Games to Watch this Week – February 12th

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at the top games to keep an eye on this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Smithville vs. Grandview (February 12th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smithville has remained one of the top Class 5 teams all season. They'll look to continue their current 6 game win streak vs. a talented and surging 15-5 Grandview squad. Smithville has a high scoring offense while Grandview likes to keep possessions down and control the tempo. This is a great contrast of styles. [player_tooltip player_id='421821' first='Peyton' last='Wohlford'] is going to be a key player for Smithville per usual. The 2025 prospect is a star player.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>East Carter vs. Kennett (February 13th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is an underrated game happening in the southeast region of the state. East Carter is one of the best small schools in Missouri at 20-3 while Kennett isn't far behind at 18-4. They're both well coached squads with a true identity. Kennett has some solid athletes that can get out, run, and guard. East Carter on the other hand has consistent backcourt play with shooting to compliment.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lutheran St. Charles vs. John Burroughs (February 14th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A game with game of the week potential. The Class 5 powerhouse programs will face off at 5pm on the campus of John Burroughs on Wednesday. This is going to be a key battle as we enter the playoff run. There's a likely scenario where these two teams have to face off once again in the near future. [player_tooltip player_id='302779' first='Jordan' last='Speiser'], [player_tooltip player_id='202412' first='Allie' last='Turner'], Bre'aunna Ward, and many others will take the floor. This game features 5+ Division 1 prospects. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Meadville vs. Northwest (February 17th)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's nothing like a Saturday evening game between two teams with a combined 45-2 record on the season. Meadville has been absolutely dominant at 23-0 and this will be one of their tougher tests overall. Northwest out of Hughesville is a great opponent that has a 22 point average margin of victory. They're very good on the defensive end and will provide a challenge to the Carvajal sisters who are an excellent duo.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
