The First Coast Buccaneers will venture away from home to take on the Bartram Trail Bears at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in First Coast's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last five matches.
Last Saturday, First Coast earned a 62-52 win over Camden County.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bartram Trail). They claimed a resounding 65-33 victory over Clay. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 223rd, while the Blue Devils are ranked 577th), the result on Tuesday wasn't entirely unexpected.
First Coast has also been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a massive bump to their 11-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.2 points per game. As for Bartram Trail, their win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 13-8.
First Coast was able to grind out a solid victory over Bartram Trail in their previous meeting back in November of 2020, winning 66-58. The rematch might be a little tougher for First Coast since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
