When the St. Elizabeth Hornets kick off the Missouri National Guard Shootout on Monday at Fleming Fieldhouse in Jefferson City, they'll be facing a team that will push them to raise their level of play.
As is customary, the Hornets have played a stout early season schedule, and will enter the one-day event with a record of 3-4.
The Hornets will square off with traditional power Harrisburg (2-2), a school that made four straight trips to the Class 2 Final Four before having that streak snapped last season.
