The Sanderson Spartans will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against the Clayton Comets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Sanderson is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Heritage. The Spartans blew past the Huskies 67-41 on Tuesday. Surprisingly, this marked the Spartans' fourth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
The home team had won the previous three meetings between Clayton and Knightdale, and Knightdale kept the tradition alive. The Comets lost 78-55 to the Knights on Friday. The Comets haven't had much luck with the Knights recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Sanderson and Clayton were neck-and-neck in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, but Sanderson came up empty-handed after a 51-50 defeat. Thankfully for the Spartans, Justice Mitchell (who dropped a double-double with 27 points and ten rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
