South Central has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will square off against the Kouts Mustangs & Fillies at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hopefully South Central focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up six on Tuesday.
South Central has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three games by 22 points or more this season. They blew past Boone Grove 74-24 at home. Given South Central's advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 169th, while Boone Grove is ranked 344th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
