GAME TWO PREVIEW
Havana vs. Knoxville
The game of the night should be the middle matchup in the Washington Street Gym on Monday night. Havana, coming off a Supersectional appearance faces Knoxville, who advanced to a Class 2A Sectional a year ago. The Ducks graduated four starters last year, but this was a team that went nine-deep and had a lot of interchangeable parts. With that said, Havana should be in for another 20+ win season under coach Jerry Wilson, but without that leadership from last season, but could go through some minor growing pains at the beginning of the season as they adjust to a slightly changed lineup. Meanwhile, Knoxville lost a few good seniors, but returns Evansville-bound Hannah Weedman (6'3"), along with Haley Jones (6'0" So.). Jones missed about half of last season with an injury. Knoxville has a distinct height advantage, with Havana being a very quick, guard-oriented team. It will be interesting how these two teams matchup with that differential. It would be a shame for these two teams to meet up right out of the opening gates, but with the switch to the Prairieland Conference for Knoxville, the two teams will match up again in conference play later this season.
