The Adair-Casey Bombers will play host to the Exira EHK Spartans in a varsity basketball doubleheader tonight that we will have for you on KJAN.

The girls game will be a battle of top ten ranked teams with Exira-EHK undefeated at 18-0 and ranked #2, while Adair-Casey is 17-2 and ranked #10 in the latest rankings just released on Thursday from the IGHSAU.  Exira-EHK won the first meeting in Elk Horn 49-36.  Kealey Nelson had 15 points and 9 rebounds to lead the Spartans to that win back on January 5th, Sophia Peppers also had 15 points and 7 rebounds in that game.  Bombers leading scorer Madie Sorensen had 13 points in the first meeting.

The boys game features a 12-5 Spartans team against a very young Bombers squad that is 1-17 on the year.  Exira-EHK won the first meeting of the season in Elk Horn by a score of 56-34.  Brady Hansen led the Spartans with 15 points in that game on January 5th.

We’ll have coverage of both games tonight on KJAN AM 1220 and FM 101.1.  You can also listen online or on the KJAN mobile app. You can also check out live video streaming of both games on our TV page at kjan.com
