The Turner Tornadoes are taking a road trip to take on the North Star Knights at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Turner comes in still looking for their first win of the season.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 73-33, which was the final score in Turner's tilt against Box Elder on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Tornadoes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Montana basketball rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Bears are ranked 42nd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North Star). They took their contest on Saturday with ease, bagging a 72-30 win over Dodson. The Knights have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five matchups by 21 points or more this season.
North Star has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.3 points over those games. As for Turner, their loss dropped their record down to 0-12.
Turner took a serious blow against North Star in their previous matchup back in January, falling 61-26. Can the Tornadoes avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
