Why this one matters

Elder and Conner meet in what should be a spirited non-league test for both programs. The last time these teams hooked up, Elder dominated with an 82-53 win on Dec. 13, 2024, a result Conner will be eager to avenge. With local bragging rights on the line and postseason positioning beginning to take shape across the region, expect both teams to bring intensity on the glass and in transition.
