Two dominant guards in Maxon Yearsley and Clancy Rablin are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Garden Valley Wolverines will look to defend their home court on Saturday against the Camas County Mushers at 1:00 p.m. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Wednesday, Garden Valley blew past Greenleaf Friends Academy, posting a 66-37 victory. The Wolverines have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine contests by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Camas County had already won two in a row and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. They had just enough and edged out the Panthers 53-50. Surprisingly, this marked the third straight game that the away team has come away the victor.
Garden Valley better keep an eye on Rablin. He was instrumental in Camas County's win, dropping a double-double with 25 points and 13 boards. Rablin has become a key player for Camas County: the team is 5-2 when he posts at least ten rebounds, but 7-8 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Quinn Palan, who posted 13 points and six boards.
Garden Valley has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.0 points over those games. Camas County's win bumped their record up to 12-10.
Things could have been worse for Garden Valley, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 78-61 loss to Camas County in their previous meeting back in January of 2024. Thankfully for Garden Valley, Emmett Palan (who shot 75% from the field on his way to 31 points in addition to seven rebounds and three blocks) won't be suiting up this time.
