ON THE LINE

The Knights are an amazing 37-1 in the Mississippi 8 over the last five seasons, a streak they'll look to continue Thursday.

KNIGHTS WIN IF…

All signs point to St. Michael-Albertville being the conference favorite again this season, and it's tough to picture them making a misstep in their league opener.

MAGIC WIN IF...

More than any other sport, volleyball is a game of momentum. The Magic took a set from the Knights last season, and if they can get on an early run and play from in front, they might have a shot.
