Timber Creek's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Samantha Tucker led the charge by going 5 for 10 en route to 15 points. The dominant performance gave Tucker a new career-high in points. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Perez, who posted 11 points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wekiva). They breezed by West Orange to the tune of 69-30 on Wednesday.
Wekiva's win came from a few key players Timber Creek will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Makayla Bell, who earned ten points along with five assists and three blocks. She has been hot for a while, having also posted two or more steals the last 13 times she's played. Another player making a difference was Tiana Washington, who went 6 of 8 on her way to 13 points and six rebounds.
Wekiva smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive boards they've managed all season.
Timber Creek is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games, which provided a nice bump to their 19-4 record this season. As for Wekiva, their victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 6-14.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Timber Creek has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 30.5 boards per game. However, it's not like Wekiva struggles in that department as they've been averaging 25.2 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Timber Creek took a serious blow against Wekiva in their previous matchup back in January of 2022, falling 53-26. Thankfully for Timber Creek, Jada Eads (who went 6 for 14 en route to 16 points and eight steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
