The Monterey Plainsmen will take on the Liberty Hill Panthers at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Monterey knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 19 matchups -- so hopefully Liberty Hill likes a good challenge.
Monterey is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 60-57 win over Memorial. Given the Plainsmen's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked second in Texas, while the Warriors are ranked 27th in Texas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
