Madison has gone 10-0 against Highland recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Madison Bobcats will venture away from home to square off against the Highland Rams at 7:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Madison has eight straight wins, Highland has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.

Madison is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They strolled past Thunder Ridge with points to spare on Wednesday, taking the game 77-61. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Idaho basketball rankings (they are ranked second, while the Titans are ranked 61st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Highland ended up a good deal behind Pocatello on Wednesday and lost 56-42.

Madison pushed their record up to 11-1 with the victory, which was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.8 points per game. As for Highland, their loss dropped their record down to 4-8.

Madison strolled past Highland in their previous meeting back in February of 2024 by a score of 57-41. The rematch might be a little tougher for Madison since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
