Armuchee has gone 5-0 against Dalton Academy recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Armuchee Indians are taking a road trip to square off against the Dalton Academy Pumas at 6:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Armuchee has five straight wins, Dalton Academy has 13 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the court.

Last Tuesday, everything came up roses for Armuchee against Coosa as the squad secured a 48-16 victory. The Indians have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven matchups by 29 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 53-7, which was the final score in Dalton Academy's tilt against Chattooga on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Pumas can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 520th, while the Indians are ranked 170th).

Armuchee pushed their record up to 13-4 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 21.6 points per game. As for Dalton Academy, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-12.

Everything came up roses for Armuchee against Dalton Academy in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, as the team secured a 67-8 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Armuchee since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
