Jersey faces Granite City at 7:30 p.m. in its Jersey Mid-Winter Classic Wednesday. Edwardsville plays Cahokia at 6 p.m. in the game prior to the Panthers' contest.
The Panthers received 16 points from star Tucker Shalley against Cahokia on Monday, 13 points from Garrett Carey and seven more from Alex Strebel in the Panthers' win over Cahokia.
