The Brentwood War Eagles will face off against the Gatewood Gators at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Brentwood knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past nine contests -- so hopefully Gatewood likes a good challenge.
Brentwood heads in on the heels of a playoff game on Friday. They took a 72-59 hit to the loss column at the hands of Central Fellowship Christian Academy.
Despite the loss, Brentwood saw an underclassman step up: freshman Tristan Robinson posted 23 points. Baylor Cobb was another key player, putting up eight points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Gatewood). They breezed past Heritage Preparatory to the tune of 88-56 on Wednesday. The Gators have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten matchups by 21 points or more this season.
Gatewood has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 76.0 points over those games. Brentwood's defeat dropped their record down to 20-4.
Brentwood strolled past Gatewood in their previous matchup last Thursday by a score of 74-56. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Gatewood's Matt Allen, who dropped a double-double with 26 points and 13 rebounds.
