The Audubon Wheelers are set to take on the ACGC Chargers Thursday night in Guthrie Center in the Class 1A-District 8 quarterfinals. This will mark the first meeting between the two teams this season and just the third since 2011. The Wheelers are coming off of a 59-47 victory over Glidden-Ralston Monday, a night in which Oliver Deist and Brody Schultes both had 14 points in the win. Wheeler Head Coach Darren Miller was pleased with his team’s effort against the Wildcats earlier this week.

Audubon enters Thursday night’s matchup averaging nearly 56 points a game, while the Chargers average over 70. Miller says rebounding and defending will be critical to staying competitive in Guthrie Center.

Miller also emphasized how athletic of a group the Chargers are but knows his team is up for the challenge.

Audubon and ACGC tips off at 7 P.M. Thursday from Guthrie Center. KJAN will have coverage beginning at 7 P.M.
