The Washington basketball teams will open up their 2019 calendar year with their biggest rivalry; the girls will hit the road, and the boys will stay at home to take on Mount Pleasant.

The girls enter the second half of the season with a 5-4 record, and will face off against a Mount Pleasant team that has won a total of one game this season.  The 2-5 boys will look to bounce back from a heartbreaker of a loss to Albia to end out their December action, taking on a Panther team that is seemingly down from previous years, sitting at 3-5.

The boys’ game will be live on KCII starting with the Washington HyVee Pregame Show at 7:15 and a 7:45 tip-off.
