Sanford has gone 10-0 against South Park recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Sanford Mustangs will head out on the road to challenge the South Park Burros at 4:00 p.m. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with Sanford sitting on seven straight victories and South Park on three.

Sanford is headed into the game after thoroughly thrashing Fowler: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Sanford blew Fowler out of the water with a 48-15 final score. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight matchups by 30 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, South Park hadn't done well against Cotopaxi recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Thursday. South Park narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Cotopaxi 24-21. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Burros have posted since December 6, 2024.

South Park has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 22.3 points per game. As for Sanford, they pushed their record up to 11-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home.

Everything came up roses for Sanford against South Park in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, as the team secured a 42-7 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sanford since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
