Williamstown and St. Marys are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2021, but not for long. The Williamstown Yellowjackets will head out on the road to take on the St. Marys Blue Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Williamstown is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They blew past Ravenswood 61-20. Given the Yellowjackets' advantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked tenth, while the Red Devils are ranked 90th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for St. Marys on Monday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew Poca out of the water with a 77-24 final score. The Blue Devils pushed the score to 64-22 by the end of the third, a deficit the Dots had no chance of recovering from.

Williamstown better keep an eye on Addie Davis. She was instrumental in St. Marys' win, going 10-for-17 to rack up 22 points in addition to seven assists and six steals. Davis has been hot, having posted two or more steals the last eight times she's played. Another player making a difference was Brynnley Bulluck, who shot 58% from the field en route to 15 points and seven rebounds.

St. Marys was working as a unit and finished the game with 15 assists. They are 17-2 when they've passed the ball that well.

Williamstown has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.5 points over those games. The win was the third in a row for St. Marys, bringing their record for this year to 18-4.

Williamstown beat St. Marys 51-44 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Williamstown since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
