It’s a major Festus hardwood showdown Friday when the Jefferson Bluejays host the St. Pius Lancers.
Both teams come in at 3-1 in the JCAA Small School Division and could still earn at least a share of the conference title with a win.
Behind star senior forward Jon Weik, Jefferson has strung together its first 3-game-win streak of the season to improve to 12-10.
But Bluejays head coach Sean Breeze says St. Pius provides the toughest challenge and the most intense environment his team will play in all year.
