Suggested Video

South Pointe has won 16 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Camden has won 16 straight on the road also dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Wednesday. The South Pointe Stallions will host the Camden Bulldogs at 6:00 p.m. South Pointe knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 13 matches -- so hopefully Camden likes a good challenge.

Last Friday, South Pointe didn't have too much breathing room in their game against A.C. Flora, but they still walked away with a 65-59 win. Given the Stallions' advantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked first, while the Falcons are ranked 55th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
