IKM-Manning High School will host Class 1A District 14 Semi-Finals tonight and we will have coverage on KJAN.

The first game of the night will be the season rubber match between Exira-EHK and Paton Churdan at 6:30pm.  The Rockets won the first game of the season against the Spartans 65-59 on December 1st. Sophomore Joe Tower led the way in that opening win with 22 points.  The second meeting was played on January 8th and the Spartans edged out a 46-45 win as Drew Buckholdt dropped in 15 points.  The two teams will settle the score tonight as they try to advance to the District Final on Thursday night.

The second game will feature the Audubon Wheelers against the IKM-Manning Wolves at 8:00pm.  The Wolves swept the Wheelers during the regular season posting a 63-46 win on December 8th in Audubon and a 74-63 win on January 19th in Manning.  The Wheelers will try to make the third time the charm coming off a big win over Glidden-Ralston to get to this game.  Sophomore Tyler Riebhoff is hitting full stride at the end of the season and had a monster game with 28 points in the Wheelers’ win over the Wildcats in the quarterfinals. IKM-Manning is led by Senior Kyle Wagner who is averaging 22 points per game.  He led all scorers in both of the previous contests with 27 and 22 points.

We’ll have pregame coverage starting at 6:20pm tonight before the first game. Join Chris Parks and Seth Christensen for the broadcast on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, and on the mobile app.
