Games to Watch this Week – February 6th

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at the top games to keep an eye on this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bishop LeBlond vs. Cameron (February 6th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a very underrated matchup in Class 3 and 4 on Tuesday night. The two teams have a combined record of 28-10 and are having successful seasons. They both do a great job on the defensive end and play well as collective units. A true toss up game that could come down to a number of factors. Cameron is at home which could be the difference.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Republic vs. Fair Grove (February 7th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a big vs. small school matchup that will be better than most. Republic has been one of the more consistent teams in Class 6 while Fair Grove is always a contender in Class 3. Each roster has a number of difference makers and this is a bragging rights game in the area. The Fair Grove backcourt is extremely dynamic and poses a threat to any competition. [player_tooltip player_id='634025' first='Brooke' last='Daniels'] and [player_tooltip player_id='627259' first='Ashton' last='Bell'] are two of the best in the 2025 class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kickapoo vs. Glendale (February 8th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A matchup of the two best large schools in Springfield at the moment. Kickapoo is a team expected to make a potential run to Mizzou Arena in March while Glendale has surprised some, sitting at 17-4 to this point in the year. Glendale can provide a tough game that most have yet to do this season when facing Kickapoo. It's a home game for Gleandale and the gym will be full of energy. [player_tooltip player_id='460874' first='Mattie' last='Zingg'] is a 2026 who has been having a great season so far.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hickman vs. Cardinal Ritter (February 10th)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very good game that will take place in St. Louis on Saturday afternoon. Hickman continues to battle and prove themselves as one of the better teams in Class 6. They have a number of very good juniors and compete on the defense end. They'll run into a hungry Cardinal Ritter squad that's coming off the Webster Winter Challenge where they played some of the best teams in the state. Both teams are gearing up for a run by playing each other.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
