Preview: D'Iberville Warriors vs. Hancock Hawks
D'Iberville has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will take on the Hancock Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Even though D'Iberville has not done well against West Harrison recently (they were 1-6 in their previous seven matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way last Tuesday. D'Iberville strolled past West Harrison with points to spare, taking the game 51-36.
D'Iberville's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Teeale Wells, who scored 18 points along with 3 steals. The contest was Wells' fourth in a row with at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Amiyah Simpkins, who scored 16 points along with 8 steals.
Meanwhile, Hancock put another one in the bag two weeks ago to keep their perfect season alive. They beat Pass Christian by the very same score they won with last week: 52-17. Considering Hancock has won three games by more than 34 points this season, two weeks ago's blowout was nothing new.
D'Iberville's win bumped their season record to 5-3 while West Harrison's defeat dropped theirs to 1-4.
D'Iberville took a serious blow against Hancock in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, falling 49-20. Can D'Iberville avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
