Cassopolis' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Ayden Gillam, who posted 20 points and five boards. The match was Gillam's third in a row with at least 15 points. Another player making a difference was Jaylen Pratt, who scored 16 points.

Cassopolis better focus on containing Abram Coffey and Parker Adams as the pair were huge in Marcellus' win. Coffey went 8 for 12 on his way to 21 points along with six rebounds and three steals, while Adams dropped a double-double with 14 points and 11 boards. Adams has become a key player for Marcellus: the team is 4-2 when he posts at least ten rebounds, but 4-7 otherwise. Beau Ferguson was another key player, putting up nine points.
Cassopolis has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games, which provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.7 points over those games. As for Marcellus, their win bumped their record up to 8-9.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Cassopolis has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 26.9 boards per game. However, it's not like Marcellus struggles in that department as they've been averaging 28.5 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Cassopolis was able to grind out a solid victory over Marcellus in their previous matchup back in January, winning 60-52. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cassopolis since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
