Triad will head into Friday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 23-point drubbing they dealt Litchfield on Friday. Triad put the hurt on Litchfield with a sharp 57-34 victory.
