Preview: Grafton Clippers vs. Tabb Tigers
Grafton has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will challenge the Tabb Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Grafton has been dominant on offense recently, as they've racked up an incredible 208 points over their last three matchups.
In what's become a running theme this season, Grafton gave their fans yet another huge victory on Thursday. They blew past Bruton 69-29 at home. With Grafton ahead 37-14 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Grafton got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Alonni Wells out in front who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 assists. Wells is absolutely dominating the steal category: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Taylor Ragland, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, Tabb's five-game losing streak came to an end on Thursday. They walked away with a 43-34 victory over New Kent. The victory was just what Tabb needed coming off of a 59-32 loss in their prior matchup.
Grafton's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-1. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.5 points per game. Tabb's record now sits at 6-8.
Grafton took their victory against Tabb in their previous meeting back in December of 2023 by a conclusive 52-31. The rematch might be a little tougher for Grafton since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
