Topsail is a perfect 3-0 against New Bern since December of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. Having just played yesterday, the Pirates will head out on the road to face off against the Bears at 6:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

On Thursday, Topsail came up short against Cleveland and fell 56-43.

Meanwhile, New Bern was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat dating back to last season. They had to suffer through a 58-24 loss at the hands of Pamlico County. The Bears were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 31-8.

Topsail was able to grind out a solid victory over New Bern in their previous matchup back in November of 2024, winning 52-44. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Pirates since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
