Greer waltzed into their contest on Tuesday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They breezed by the Pickens Blue Flame to the tune of 63-26. Given the Yellow Jackets' advantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Blue Flame are ranked 275th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Greer is also on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games, which provided a massive bump to their 11-6 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 71.4 points per game. As for Pickens, their loss was their 16th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-15.

Greer has already played their next matchup (against Oceanside Collegiate Academy), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Pickens is taking a road trip to challenge Berea at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Berea knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past nine contests -- so hopefully Pickens likes a good challenge.
