The Chiefs and the Falcons tip off at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the O’Reilly Family Event Center on the campus of Drury University in the latest episode of the “Southside Showdown,” a game that could decide the 2017 Ozark Conference champion.
Glendale (16-5) rides a 10-game winning streak into the rivalry game and comes off back-to-back wins filled with lessons against West Plains and Waynesville. Glendale downed West Plains 110-69 behind a school record 51 points from Monty Johal. Twenty-four hours later, a 58-41 win at Waynesville proved onerous.
