The Whitehall-Yearling Rams and the Granville Blue Aces will round out the year against one another at at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Saturday, Whitehall-Yearling took a blow against Conner, falling 93-61.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Granville). They enjoyed a cozy 71-54 win over Licking Valley on Saturday. The Blue Aces pushed the score to 61-41 by the end of the third, a deficit the Panthers cut but never quite recovered from.
Granville pushed their record up to 4-2 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.7 points per game. As for Whitehall-Yearling, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season.
