Basketball Game Preview: Wilson Prep Tigers vs. Chatham Central Bears

The Wilson Prep Tigers will venture away from home to take on the Chatham Central Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Wilson Prep's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 15 contests.

Wilson Prep is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They put the hurt on Northwest Halifax with a sharp 93-70 victory. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 151st, while the Vikings are ranked 424th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chatham Central). They blew past Gates County 88-62 on Tuesday. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Bears just coasted through the last quarter.

Wilson Prep is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 78.7 points over those games. Chatham Central's win bumped their record up to 22-4.
