The Durango Demons will take on the Air Academy Kadets on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Durango is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They walked away with a 32-23 win over Montrose. The 32-point effort marked the Demons' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Meanwhile, Air Academy put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They were the clear victor by a 70-48 margin over Northridge. The Kadets have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 19 games by 22 points or more this season.
Air Academy pushed their record up to 24-0 with the victory, which was their 20th straight at home dating back to last season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.4 points over those games. As for Durango, they have been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests. That somehow still isn't as good as their 19-6 record this season.
Things could have been worse for Durango, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 48-31 loss to Air Academy in their previous matchup back in December of 2019. Thankfully for Durango, Kylee Blacksten (who went 7-for-15 to rack up 23 points in addition to five rebounds and three blocks) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
