Basketball Game Preview: Horizon Hawks vs. Skyline Falcons

It'll be a Battle of the Birds when the Horizon Hawks take on the Skyline Falcons at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday... One thing working in Horizon's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last nine contests.

Last Friday, Horizon didn't have too much trouble with Fairview as they won 67-48. The Hawks pushed the score to 55-31 by the end of the third, a deficit the Knights cut but never quite recovered from.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Horizon to victory, but perhaps none more so than Aiden Greene, who went 8 of 16 en route to 21 points and six boards. Greene continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Noah Sokolowski, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Horizon smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their offensive rebound total in three consecutive games.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skyline). They came out on top against Gateway by a score of 80-70 on Saturday.

Horizon's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 15-2. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 69.9 points per game. As for Skyline, their victory ended a five-game drought on the road and puts them at 8-9.
