The Northampton Yellowjackets and the Mathews Blue Devils will face off at 7:00 p.m. on Friday without much rest having both just played. Both are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Northampton is headed into the contest after thoroughly thrashing Nandua: they outscored them in every quarter.

The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 51-21.
Northampton got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Amir Bailey out in front who went 8 for 13 on his way to 18 points in addition to five assists and four steals. Jaylen Anderson was another key player, going 6 of 12 en route to 15 points and three steals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mathews). They blew past King & Queen Central, posting an 86-48 victory.

They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 42.3 points. As for Mathews, their win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-7.
