Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Knippa). They breezed by Leakey to the tune of 70-25 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Comstock's loss ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 14-12. As for Knippa, they now have a winning record of 15-14.
Comstock beat Knippa 43-36 in their previous meeting back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Comstock since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
