Bronson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kamron Brackett led the charge by going 8-for-19 en route to 23 points and three steals. Brackett is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in the last seven games he's played. Boston Bucklin was another key player, going 5-for-10 to rack up 12 points and three steals.

Bronson smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 11 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 11 consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Quincy had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 34.7 points) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They came within six points of losing the streak, but they secured a 58-52 W against the Lions. 58 seems to be a good number for the Orioles as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.

Quincy's win came from a few key players Bronson will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Corey Turner, who posted 14 points in addition to five rebounds and three steals. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in points. The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Kempter, who scored ten points.

Quincy pushed their record up to 10-8 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to three-point shooting accuracy: their three-point shooting accuracy was 36.7% in those games and 23.3% outside of them. As for Bronson, their record now sits at 9-10.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Bronson has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 30.8 boards per game. However, it's not like Quincy struggles in that department as they've been averaging 31.1 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Bronson strolled past Quincy in their previous meeting back in December of 2024 by a score of 60-44. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bronson since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
