Larimore and Cavalier are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2016, but not for long. The Larimore Polar Bears will venture away from home to take on the Cavalier Tornadoes at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Larimore has five straight wins, Cavalier has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Last Tuesday, Larimore didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Griggs County Central/Midkota, but they still walked away with a 46-42 victory.
Larimore's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jace Collison, who went 5-for-10 to rack up 11 points. Baron Burns was another key player, putting up 14 points.
Meanwhile, Cavalier lost 74-50 to Midway/Minto on Monday. While losing is never fun, the Tornadoes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Dakota basketball rankings (they are ranked 115th, while the Mustangs are ranked 21st).
Larimore's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-6. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.0 points over those games. As for Cavalier, their loss dropped their record down to 1-15.
Larimore came out on top in a nail-biter against Cavalier in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, sneaking past 58-56. The rematch might be a little tougher for Larimore since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
