The Albia Blue Demons will venture away from home to square off against the Davis County Mustangs at 7:30 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.

Albia will head into Friday's match hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 51-point drubbing they dealt Cardinal on Friday. Albia breezed by Cardinal to the tune of 76-25. The Blue Demons have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 games by 28 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, Davis County hadn't done well against Clarke recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. Davis County came out on top against Clarke by a score of 75-64. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 140th, while the Indians are ranked 281st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

The win was the third in a row for Davis County, bringing their record for this year to 12-6. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 69.3 points per game. As for Albia, the victory was the fifth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 13-2.

Everything came up roses for Albia against Davis County in their previous matchup back in January, as the team secured an 82-53 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Albia since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
