SBLive Report,            

North Central -

The Hilltop Cadets visit the North Central Eagles on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, in Pioneer, Ohio. Tip is set for 7 p.m. EST at North Central — the game page is here: https://scorebooklive.com/ohio/basketball/games/6125129-hilltop-vs-north-central.

Quick facts

  • Date/time: Friday, Feb. 13, 2026 — 7 p.m. EST

  • Location: Pioneer, Ohio

  • Last meeting: Jan. 2, 2025 — Hilltop edged North Central, 53-50 (box score/recap: https://scorebooklive.com/ohio/basketball/games/5138464-north-central-vs-hilltop)

Why this one matters

This is a local clash that should deliver a physical, grind-it-out high school basketball atmosphere. Hilltop walked away with a 53-50 win the last time these teams met, so North Central will be looking for payback in front of a home crowd. With both rosters carrying momentum swings this winter, expect emphasis on defense and late-game execution.
