The Wabaunsee boy's basketball team will kick off their postseason run on Monday evening when they host the 7-seed in Oskaloosa.
The Chargers (14-6) come into this contest on a hot streak having won 12 of their last 14 while the Bears (5-15) are ice cold having lost all but one of their last 15.
While Wabaunsee will be considered heavy favorites in this game, the Chargers remain committed to continuing playing their best basketball down the stretch, and understand that now is not the time to let off the gas.
"In this opening game, I want to see my team look consistently unflappable," Wabaunsee head coach Christian Ulsaker said. "Basketball is a game of runs and we need to control those runs."
The winner of this contest will advance to the bracket semifinals where they will await either 12-7 St. Mary's or 8-12 KC Christian.
On the other side of the bracket, the #1 team in Class 2A in Lyndon (19-1) will host Maranatha Christian Academy (2-16), with the winner moving on to play either Mission Valley (11-9) or Topeka-Cair Paravel (8-12).
Tip-off between the Chargers and Bears is set for 7:00 at Wabausnsee High School in Alma.
