1. Full House
The Lions host Chester County School System kids for the second year. The Brewer Sports Center is expected to have one of its largest crowds, full of elementary-aged school kids.
2. Battle of the Promoted
Both FHU's coach Grant Burns and STU's coach Zach Moss have been promoted to be the head coach after spending several years in the assistant role at their respective institutions.
3. Familiar Five
Four of FHU's starting five in the season opener featured Lions who saw action in the 2025-26 season. Eli Pounders earned his first start, while DJ McIntyre and Cam Hudson started in multiple games. Caleb Thomas was a starter for all but two of FHU's games last season.
4. Coming from All Over
The Bobcats have 18 players listed on their roster. Of those, only two hail from STU's state of Florida. For comparison's sake, all but five of the Lions' 19 players are from the Volunteer State.
5. Old Face, New Team
One of St. Thomas's players is very familiar with the Brewer Sports Center. Ayden Nyekan comes to Miami Gardens after spending the last four years as a Tiger from Mid-South Conference rival Georgetown.
