If East Bernard beats Boling with 51 points on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. East Bernard couldn't have asked for a better start to 2025 than the 51-23 blowout they got against Brazos. The Brahmas have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight games by 22 points or more this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead East Bernard to victory, but perhaps none more so than London Cavness, who almost dropped a double-double on 16 points and nine boards. That's the most points Cavness has posted since back in December of 2023. The team also got some help courtesy of Malaya Thomas, who posted nine points in addition to eight rebounds and six steals.

Meanwhile, Boling had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 57-37 margin over the Leopards.

East Bernard pushed their record up to 16-7 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 28.2 points per game. As for Boling, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season.

East Bernard didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Boling in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, but they still walked away with a 37-32 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for East Bernard since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
