Background and storyline

This will be the first listed meeting between the schools since Feb. 2, 2021, when East Marion hosted Perry Central. Expect a competitive league tilt in Columbia as both teams look to build momentum through district play. With several seasons between meetings, familiarity may be limited — that should make for an intense, physical night.
