Blue Valley Northwest at Maranatha Christian Academy — Jan. 23 preview
Maranatha Christian Academy -
Friday, Jan. 23 — 9:30 p.m. CST: Maranatha Christian Academy hosts Blue Valley Northwest at Maranatha Christian Academy in a nonconference meeting between a Minnesota program and a visiting Kansas squad.
This interstate matchup pits the Maranatha Christian Academy Mustangs against the Blue Valley Northwest Huskies. Maranatha (home) will be trying to use home-court familiarity — and a quick turnaround, since the Mustangs travel again Saturday — while Blue Valley Northwest makes the trip from Kansas for the night contest.
Why this matters
- It’s an uncommon interstate matchup with travel and recovery factors that could shape the game plan for both teams. Maranatha’s next game is listed for Saturday, Jan. 24 in Kansas, so look for rotation and minutes management.
- No previous meeting is listed between these teams, so expect the coaching staffs to emphasize scouting and adjustments on the fly.
