The Whetstone Braves will look to take advantage of their home-court for the first time this season as they take on the Columbus International Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Whetstone is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They were just a bucket shy of victory last Friday and fell 40-39 to South. The Braves have struggled against the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Whetstone might have lost, but man, Caniya Woods was a machine: she dropped a double-double on 19 points and 12 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Genevieve Golding, who went 5 for 8 en route to 12 points.
Even though they lost, Whetstone smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 27 offensive rebounds. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South only pulled down 19.
Meanwhile, Columbus International humbled Horizon Science Academy with an 88-2 victory. The team accrued 78 points in the first half and coasted on those for the win.
Whetstone suffered a grim 47-26 defeat to Columbus International in their previous meeting back in January. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Columbus International's Leila Carter, who dropped a double-double on 31 points and ten rebounds. Now that Whetstone knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
