Mitchell has gone 8-2 against Owen recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Mitchell Mountaineers just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Owen Warhorses at 7:30 p.m. One thing working in Mitchell's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.
Mitchell took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Thursday. They were the clear victor by a 74-54 margin over Draughn. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 46-20.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Owen). They blew past Draughn 95-74 on Tuesday. The Warhorses have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 20 points or more this season.
Owen's win came from a few key players Mitchell will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Asante Martin, who went 11 for 21 on his way to 30 points along with seven assists and six rebounds. The match was his fifth in a row with at least ten points. Jack Wesley Burk was another key player, going 9 of 14 en route to 25 points and five boards.
Owen's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-3. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.7 points per game. As for Mitchell, the win got them back to even at 6-6.
Things could have been worse for Mitchell, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 76-61 loss to Owen in their previous matchup last Wednesday. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Martin, who almost dropped a triple-double on 31 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. Now that Mitchell knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
