What's more, he also posted a 56% shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's achieved since back in January of 2024. Another player making a difference was Kameron Pippen, who posted 12 points.

Even though they lost, Palo Verde smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 13 consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, Alchesay hadn't done well against Chinle recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. Alchesay came out on top in a nail-biter against Chinle, sneaking past 64-62.

Palo Verde better focus on containing Adrian Dosela and Max Antonio as the pair were huge in Alchesay's win. Dosela went 6-for-10 en route to 17 points, while Antonio went 8-for-11 to rack up 20 points and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Micah Yazzie, who had nine points.

Palo Verde's loss ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 21-5. As for Alchesay, their win bumped their record up to 21-10.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest-scoring teams around. Palo Verde hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 69 points per game. However, it's not like Alchesay struggles in that department as they've been averaging 55.5 points. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can put up more Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
