Monticello at Rogers
7:15 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29

Rogers (12-6, 6-0) is hoping to push its Mississippi 8 Conference lead to two games when it hosts Monticello (13-6, 6-1) this week. The Royals handed the Magic their lone league loss of the season in a 59-50 game on Dec. 11.

The first meeting was lower scoring than each team is used to, but Rogers still had four players reach double figures in points, led by a combined 27 from seniors Allen Wilson (18.1 ppg) and Steffan Musoke (17.2 ppg).

Monticello's leading scorer, sophomore guard Matt Todd (19.9 ppg) was held to 13 points in the defeat.
