Sigourney has gone 8-0 against H-L-V recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Sigourney Savages will head out on the road to face off against the H-L-V Warriors at 7:30 p.m. Sigourney knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past five contests -- so hopefully H-L-V likes a good challenge.

Sigourney is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat Colfax-Mingo 86-47. Given the Savages' advantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 137th, while the Tigerhawks are ranked 315th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, H-L-V hadn't done well against Belle Plaine recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. H-L-V walked away with a 49-41 victory over Belle Plaine. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Warriors.

H-L-V is also on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 6-5 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.0 points per game. As for Sigourney, they pushed their record up to 8-4 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.

Sigourney was able to grind out a solid victory over H-L-V in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, winning 45-34. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sigourney since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
