Having just played yesterday, the Hiram Hornets will jump right back in to play the Darlington Tigers at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Hiram knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past eight matches -- so hopefully Darlington likes a good challenge.
Hiram is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Cartersville just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 62-61 to the Hurricanes. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game on Tuesday (57), the Hornets still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Darlington). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Pepperell 89-42. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 60th, while the Dragons are ranked 451st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Hiram now has a losing record at 4-5. As for Darlington, their win bumped their record up to 6-1.
