The Strasburg Indians will be playing at home against the Highland Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Strasburg is headed into the game after thoroughly thrashing Frontier Academy: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Strasburg blew Frontier Academy out of the water with an 82-33 final score. The Indians have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 matches by 21 points or more this season.

Tyce Bollers and Nick Glatfelter were among the main playmakers for Strasburg as the former went 7-for-10 en route to 18 points and three steals and the latter almost dropped a double-double with 13 points and nine boards. Bollers is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed three or more in each of the last five games he's played. Colton Holloway was another key player, putting up seven points and four steals.
Meanwhile, Highland didn't have too much trouble with Brush on Tuesday as they won 68-54. The Huskies haven't had any issues with the Beetdiggers recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Highland's win came from a few key players Strasburg will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Sawyer Morgan, who dropped a double-double with 16 points and 20 rebounds. He is becoming a predictor of Highland's success: when he posts at least ten boards the team is 14-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Brogan Palmer, who went 6-for-7 to rack up 15 points in addition to five rebounds and three blocks.
Highland smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive boards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Brush only three offensive rebounds.
Strasburg is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 71.9 points over those games. Highland's record is now 16-4.
Keep an eye on the arc in Friday's game: Strasburg has been dynamite from deep this season, having made 34.5% of their three-pointers per game. It's a different story for Highland, though, as they've only made 27.5% of their three-pointers this season. Given Strasburg's sizable advantage in that area, Highland will need to find a way to close that gap.
Strasburg strolled past Highland when the teams last played two weeks ago by a score of 69-53. Does Strasburg have another victory up their sleeve, or will Highland turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
