Boyd County has gone 8-2 against Niobrara/Verdigre recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Boyd County Spartans will be playing in front of their home fans against the Niobrara/Verdigre Cougars. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.

Niobrara/Verdigre better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Boyd County really get things going. Boyd County was the clear victors by a 54-33 margin over Randolph on Friday. With that win, the Spartans brought their scoring average up to 50.1 points per game.

Charlie Adams continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, going 9-for-15 on his way to 22 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Will Nelson, who posted three points and 13 boards.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Niobrara/Verdigre). They breezed past Neligh-Oakdale to the tune of 58-23 on Friday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cougars considering their 21-point performance the contest before.

Boyd County has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.4 points over those games. Niobrara/Verdigre's victory ended an 18-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 1-21.

Everything came up roses for Boyd County against Niobrara/Verdigre when the teams last played last Friday, as the team secured a 58-21 win. In that matchup, Boyd County amassed a halftime lead of 36-14, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Tuesday.
