Basketball Recap: Friday's Win Is Shepherd's Eighth in Last Ten Outings

With a playoff win on the line, Shepherd rose to the challenge on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 53-35 win over the Sweet Grass County Sheepherders. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent victory being a 59-48 win two weeks ago.

Shepherd has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.4 points over those games. Sweet Grass County has traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last ten matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.

As of now, neither Shepherd nor Sweet Grass County have any future games scheduled.
