The Colon Magi boys basketball team will be back in action tomorrow night with plenty on the line as they travel to Mendon for a highly anticipated rematch — one that could have major implications in the SCAA West standings. The two teams met earlier this season in Mendon, where the Hornets escaped with an overtime victory, handing Colon its only loss of the year. Since that night, the Magi have responded in impressive fashion, rattling off seven straight wins to improve to 7–1 on the season. Mendon enters the matchup at a perfect 11–0 and remains one of the top teams in the area, making this a measuring-stick game for a Colon team that has steadily climbed the rankings. The Magi currently sit 6th in the BCAM Division 4 state polls, a testament to their consistency and growth over the first half of the season. Beyond the standings, tomorrow night also carries a milestone storyline. Head coach Vinson enters the game with 98 career wins, putting the veteran coach within striking distance of the 100-win mark — an achievement that reflects years of sustained success and leadership in the program. Looking ahead, Colon faces a pivotal stretch with Mendon, Maple Valley, and Union City making up the next three games, increasing the importance of each contest as conference play continues. JV tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., with varsity set to follow at approximately 7:00 p.m. in Mendon. With conference positioning, momentum, and unfinished business from the first meeting all at stake, the Magi will look to rise to the challenge on the road and continue their push in the SCAA West race. Tomorrow night’s rematch promises playoff-level energy — and another chapter in what’s shaping up to be a memorable season for Colon boys basketball.
