The Cornerstone Eagles and the Vincent Yellow Jackets will compete for holiday cheer at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Cornerstone has given up an average of 57.2 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Cornerstone is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Jasper just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Monday. They were beaten by the Vikings 90-46. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 254th, while the Vikings are ranked 48th).
Meanwhile, Vincent beat Fayetteville 64-57 on Thursday.
Vincent's win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-9. As for Cornerstone, they now have a losing record of 6-7.
Cornerstone didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Vincent in their previous matchup last Monday, but they still walked away with a 59-55 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
