Starting off another busy week, the Macks (9-9, 3-6 Western Cloverbelt Conference) made a short trip south to take on a former conference foe in the Railroaders (13-3, 6-2 Middle Border Conference).
Altoona rode a sensational first half shooting performance to an 18-point lead at the break, and though McDonell adjusted, they could never quite come within striking distance as the Rails avenged last season's loss.

Hoping to bounce back after their first loss in over 2 months, the Lady Macks (15-3, 10-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) could not pull away from the talented and revitalized Hornets (7-8, 3-5 WCC), who overtook McDonell late in the first half and held a two point lead going into the break.
Though the second frame was a seesaw affair, Cadott eventually built a two-possession lead and was in the double bonus, seemingly in prime position to pull off the upset. The Lady Macks didn't blink, however, and a little McDonell Magic in the waning moments secured the victory in a thriller.
In contrast to their earlier game at River Falls(11-4, 7-1) where the Cards(3-13, 2-7) saw the Wildcats score the game's first 18 points, Chi High actually scored first in this one. However, after RF grabbed the lead at 5-4 they never trailed the rest of the game, outscoring CF 15-4 before the half to take a 33-20 lead at the break on their way to a 64-48 victory.
