SALEM, Ore. (Interstat) — A clash of Warriors will highlight the NAIA men’s basketball slate Saturday when the Lewis-Clark State Warriors visit the Corban Warriors at the C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.

Lewis-Clark State (Idaho), entering with a 10-4 overall record, aims to build on its momentum after a 72-60 road victory at Bushnell on Friday. Jamare’ Childs led the way with 18 points, while Grayson Hunt posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Childs has been a consistent force, averaging 11.0 points over his last five games, including an 18-point performance in Friday’s win.

Corban (6-8) is coming off a dominant 98-64 home win over Walla Walla on Friday, where Joe Gould efficiently contributed 14 points and six assists in just 23 minutes. Gould has been a standout, scoring in double figures in five consecutive games and averaging 16.8 points during that stretch. Tj Zimmermann added 17 points in the victory.

The matchup features contrasting trajectories. Lewis-Clark State has won four of its last five games, with its only loss in that span a narrow 70-66 defeat to Oregon Tech. Corban has split its last four contests, including a 104-96 overtime loss to Evergreen last Saturday.

Lewis-Clark State holds the historical edge in recent seasons, but Corban’s high-scoring offense, which put up 98 points Friday, will test the visiting team’s defense. The battle in the backcourt between Lewis-Clark’s Childs and Corban’s Gould will be pivotal.

Following this contest, Lewis-Clark State returns home to host Northwest on Jan. 16. Corban begins a road trip at Eastern Oregon on the same date.
