What to expect

This is early-season nonleague work for both programs, and records are just getting started. There’s no recent meeting on file between the two teams, so expect a fresh look as coaches test rotations and establish roles. McLane will be playing at home in front of a local crowd, while Central East will try to set a tone on the road.
