Basketball Game Preview: Ellison Eagles vs. The Colony Cougars

The Ellison Eagles will take on The Colony Cougars on Monday. Ellison knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 13 contests -- so hopefully The Colony likes a good challenge.

Ellison is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They blew past Seagoville 88-48. The Eagles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 19 matches by 22 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, The Colony came tearing into Friday's game with ten straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 17.1 points), and they left with even more momentum. They enjoyed a cozy 55-40 victory over the Tigers.

Ellison has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 18 of their last 19 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.8 points over those games. The Colony's win bumped their record up to 26-10.
