The Clayton Comets will head out to face off against the Sanderson Spartans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Clayton can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Friday. They lost 78-55 to Knightdale. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Sanderson over Heritage in every quarter on their way to victory on Tuesday. The Spartans blew past the Huskies 67-41. Surprisingly, this marked the Spartans' fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
Clayton won a game that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, slipping by Sanderson 51-50. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Spartans' Nathan Fife, who went 6-for-9 from beyond the arc to rack up 29 points and five assists. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Comets to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
