The last time these two teams played, Caldwell would beat South Haven to force a five-way tie in the South-Central Border League Championship.

The two teams will play one another again in an all Sumner County showdown in Udall. The winner advances to state. The other stays home.

In a game that was meant to be close, was not so much as South Haven beat Cedar Vale-Dexter 52-39 on Friday night in the semifinals. Earlier in the evening, Caldwell would eke out a squeaker against St. Paul 41-40.

The two teams split during the regular season.

South Haven vs. Udall boys – 7:30 p.m.

It will be the third consecutive time South Haven and Udall will play for the sub-state basketball championship. The past two times, the winner went on to finish second place in the Class 1A- Division 1 state basketball tournament.

This will be the ultimate grudge match. Both teams are senior laden.

South Haven boys advanced with a 51-32 victory over Caldwell in the semifinals Friday. Udall beat St. Paul 81-75.

The Cardinal boys have beaten Udall during the regular season all three times. However, the last time these two teams played in the semifinals of the South-Central Border League tournament, South Haven won 66-63 in a squeaker.

With it being in Udall’s gymnasium this could be a barnburner of mammoth proportions. We will have the live feed on our twitter account: Cueballnewscow.
