Indian Creek is preparing for their first conference matchup of the season on Saturday. They will face off against the Tri-West Hendricks Bruins at 7:30 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Indian Creek can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home last Tuesday. They fell just short of Franklin Community by a score of 71-68. The defeat continues a trend for the Braves in their meetings with the Grizzly Cubs: they've now lost six in a row.
Despite their loss, Indian Creek saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Carter Cooley, who went 9-for-20 to rack up 27 points and five boards, was perhaps the best of all. Walker Oliver was another key player, shooting 75% from the field en route to 16 points.
Meanwhile, Tri-West Hendricks unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They lost 74-54 to Decatur Central on Wednesday. The game was a close 28-25 at the break, but unfortunately for the Bruins it sure didn't stay that way.
Like Indian Creek, Tri-West Hendricks lost despite seeing results from several players. Daniel Thomas led the charge by putting up 12 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Miller, who posted 12 points.
Indian Creek beat Tri-West Hendricks 64-54 in their previous meeting back in February of 2018. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Bruins' Tyler Watson, who went 10-for-24 on his way to 30 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be easier for the Braves to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
