LIBERAL, Kan. (Interstat) — The Seward County Saints will open their 2025-26 men’s basketball season on Saturday when they host the Trinidad State Trojans in a junior college non-conference matchup.

The Saints, who have not played since a 78-65 loss to Garden City on March 9, 2024, will look to start the new campaign with a victory. The Trojans (0-1) are seeking their first win after falling 97-82 on the road at Garden City just one day earlier on Friday.

According to the Interstat ELO system, Seward County enters as the clear favorite with a 66.60 percent probability to win.

The game will be the first of a challenging 10-game stretch for both teams. Seward County’s upcoming schedule includes a home contest against Frank Phillips on Nov. 11 and a road trip to face New Mexico Military and New Mexico on Nov. 14-15. Trinidad State’s next game is at home against New Mexico Military on Nov. 7, followed by a home game against South Plains the next day.
