Lapel is on a six-game streak of home wins, while Connersville is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Bulldogs will be home for the holidays to greet the Spartans at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Tuesday, Lapel narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Eastern Hancock 65-62. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Bulldogs' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 11th, while the Royals are ranked 77th).
It was another big night for Laniah Wills, who dropped a double-double with 32 points and 14 boards. That makes it six consecutive games in which she has scored at least a third of Lapel's points. Sophie Goodwin was another key player, shooting 46% from the field on her way to 19 points and seven rebounds.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Connersville). They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 73-26 win over South Dearborn. The Spartans not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since November 8th (when they won 61-14).
Lapel's victory bumped their record up to 11-0. As for Connersville, they now have a winning record of 6-5.
