The Red Ravens wrap up the first half of conference play with a major county rivalry.

 

The Independence Pirates travel less than 20 miles to Nellis Hall for a tilt with CCC.

 

Lady Raven coach Tony Turner says it's important for his players not to overthink the rivalry.

 

The Lady Pirates have been stronger than expected this season, under first year coach Rob Beckman. Turner says the ICC staff have done a terrific job.

 

ICC also has a first year coach for the men's team in Jason Steadham, a former NBA G-League assistant. Raven coach Jay Herkelman says he doesn't know much about this Pirates team, but they love to play fast.

 

Coverage of the Ravens and Pirates begins at 4:45 p.m. on US 98 and the Red Raven Sports Network.
