A pair of teams with similar records will match up Tuesday when the Jackson County Central girls basketball team closes out its regular-season schedule Tuesday with a contest against future Big South Conference opponent Tri-City United. The Titans will be joining the BSC next season.
JCC is 16-8 after an 86-84 win over St. James Area at the Big South Conference Showcase in Blue Earth. TCU is 15-8 after seeing a seven-game winning streak halted by Luverne at the showcase.
Rylie Cother scored 41 points for the Huskies vs. the Saints and set the school single season scoring record, surpassing Sadie Voss. Kylee Wenzel netted 11 points.
It’s the third straight season Jackson County Central and Tri-City United have played, but Tuesday will be the first time the teams have played in Jackon. The Huskies won 73-35 in Montgomery in 2022 and 77-40 at the BSC Showcase in Windom in 2022.
JCC then opens Section 3AA South Sub-Section play at home vs. St. James Area Saturday.
