The Burns Broncs will face off against the Torrington Trailblazers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Burns came up short against Big Horn on Saturday, falling 69-45. The Broncs haven't had much luck with the Rams recently, as the team's come up short the last seven times they've met.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Parker Ochsner, who posted eight points. Mason Medley was another key player, putting up eight points and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Torrington). They walked away with a 61-50 victory over Mitchell on Thursday. Given the Trailblazers' advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 21st in Wyoming, while the Tigers are ranked 143rd in Nebraska), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Torrington is also on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.3 points per game. As for Burns, their loss dropped their record down to 3-8.
Burns didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Torrington in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, but they still walked away with a 54-49 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Burns since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
