Those 80% shooting accuracy gave Reed a new career-high. Shay Hawk was another key player, putting up six points.

Meanwhile, Tecumseh was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their sixth straight defeat dating back to last season. They lost to Evansville Harrison at home by a 68-49 margin. On the bright side, the 49- point performance marked the Braves' highest-scoring matchup to date.

Washington will need to focus on slowing down Kinley Richey, one of several Tecumseh players who made an impact when they last played. She posted 15 points and three steals. Another player making a difference was Hazel Melton, who almost dropped a double-double with nine points and 12 boards.

Tecumseh's loss dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Washington, their victory bumped their record up to 4-2.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Washington has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 32.3 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Tecumseh struggles in that department as they've been averaging 34.4 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Everything came up roses for Washington against Tecumseh when the teams last played back in November of 2024, as the squad secured a 67-24 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hatchets since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
