Cherokee has won 26 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Christ the King has won 26 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Cherokee Braves will welcome the Christ the King Crusaders at 7:00 p.m. Cherokee knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 13 matches -- so hopefully Christ the King likes a good challenge.
Cherokee is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They breezed past Carver to the tune of 78-29. The Braves have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 22 contests by 31 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Christ the King posted their closest victory since February 7th on Friday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past South Stokes 46-44.
Christ the King's win came from a few key players Cherokee will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Claire Broda, who dropped a double-double with 18 points and 14 boards. She continues to improve, besting her previous point total in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Lucy Gorman, who posted eight points along with eight steals and six assists.
Christ the King has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.8 points on average over those games. Cherokee's victory bumped their record up to 24-2.
