Davie has been on the road for two straight, but on Tuesday they'll finally head home. They will take on the Glenn Bobcats at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Davie's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last five matchups.
Last Friday, Davie didn't have too much trouble with Parkland on the road as they won 59-45. Given Davie's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 35th, while Parkland is ranked 212th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Driver has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last five times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Coleman Lawhon, who scored five points along with six assists and two steals.
