The Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) Elecs senior boys and girls basketball teams hold a slim advantage in the McLeod Series with the Weyburn Comprehensive School Eagles.
The first two games of the annual four-game showdown were played Wednesday night in Weyburn.
The senior boys Elecs opened the series with a 68-53 win over Weyburn. The senior girls then dropped an 82-70 game against Weyburn.
ECS outscored Weyburn 138-135 in the first two games.
The final two games in the series will be Feb. 13 in Estevan. The senior girls play at 5:30 p.m. and the senior boys play at 7:30 p.m.
The McLeod Series is a best-of-four showdown between the two schools each year. If each team wins twice, then the tie-breaker is point differential.
ECS is looking to win the McLeod Series for the fourth time in the last five years.
Next week’s edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
