The Berkeley Prep Buccaneers will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Classical Prep Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Berkeley Prep is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Carrollwood Day. The Buccaneers breezed past the Patriots to the tune of 58-9 on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Classical Prep hadn't done well against Academy at the Lakes recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Thursday. The Lions took their matchup with ease, bagging a 65-33 win over the Wildcats. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Lions had established a 22-point advantage.
Berkeley Prep beat Classical Prep 57-45 in their previous matchup back in January. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Lions' Kaelyn Malloy, who dropped a double-double with 28 points and 18 rebounds. Now that she won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Buccaneers to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
