Basketball Game Preview: Stringer Red Devils vs. Clarkdale Bulldogs

The Stringer Red Devils just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Clarkdale Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Clarkdale). They blew past Raleigh, posting a 72-28 win. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Bulldogs with their most commanding win of the season.

Stringer better keep an eye on Cade Culpepper. He was instrumental in Clarkdale's win, dropping a double-double on 21 points and 12 rebounds. Culpepper is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed three or more in the last four games he's played.
