There's no place like home for Salem Academy, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. They really took it to the Nestucca Bobcats for the full four quarters, racking up an 80-38 win. The Crusaders have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 17 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Salem Academy is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.4 points on average over those games. Nestucca has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 16-11 record this season.

As of now, neither Salem Academy nor Nestucca have any future games scheduled.
