Preview: Elko Indians vs. Reed Raiders
Elko has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Friday. They will challenge the Reed Raiders at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully Elko focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 26 on Saturday.
Last Saturday, Elko was the victim of a rough 53-32 loss at the hands of Kuna.
Elko's loss came about despite a quality game from Preston Chamberlin, who scored 13 points along with 7 rebounds and 3 steals. The match was Chamberlin's third in a row with at least ten points.
Meanwhile, Reed pushed their score all the way to 68 on Tuesday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They took a 75-68 hit to the loss column at the hands of Douglas. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Reed in their matchups with Douglas: they've now lost five in a row.
Elko's victory lifted them to 2-1 while Kuna's defeat dropped them down to 2-2.
Elko didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Reed in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, but they still walked away with a 69-63 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Elko since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
