The Hillsboro Indians are taking a road trip to take on the Meigs Marauders at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Hillsboro took a loss when they played away from home on Saturday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Vinton County 72-43. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Indians have posted since January 4th.
Meanwhile, Meigs came tearing into last Friday's game with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 30 points), and they left with even more momentum. They took down the Buckeyes 67-53. Given the Marauders' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 120th, while the Buckeyes are ranked 486th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Hillsboro has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-12 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.0 points over those games. Meigs' win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 21-1.
