Wayne County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.6 points over those games. McEwen's win bumped their record up to 20-9.
