Zillah is a perfect 10-0 against Wapato since December of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Saturday. The Zillah Leopards will take on the Wapato Wolves at 5:15 p.m. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Zillah comes in on nine and Wapato on three.

Last Saturday, Zillah was fully in charge, breezing past College Place 74-39. The Leopards have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 matches by 23 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wapato). They took their contest on Friday with ease, bagging a 92-56 victory over Naches Valley. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Wolves with their most commanding win of the season.

Zillah's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-3. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 31.8 points. As for Wapato, their victory bumped their record up to 13-6.

Everything came up roses for Zillah against Wapato in their previous meeting back in January, as the squad secured an 84-56 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Zillah since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
