The La Puente Warriors are taking a road trip to square off against the Edgewood Lions at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
La Puente is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 72 points on Thursday, they were much more limited against Workman on Tuesday. They took a blow against the Lobos, falling 71-29. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 898th, while the Lobos are ranked 381st).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Edgewood). They really took it to Pomona for the full four quarters, racking up a 69-20 win. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Lions had established a 46 point advantage.

The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.3 points per game. As for La Puente, with the defeat, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 11-11.
La Puente beat Edgewood 60-47 in their previous meeting on January 14th. The rematch might be a little tougher for La Puente since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
