The Stratford Tigers will venture away from home to square off against the Colby Hornets at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Stratford has eight straight victories, Colby has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Last Thursday, Stratford didn't have too much trouble with Rib Lake as they won 45-28. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 78th, while the Redmen are ranked 238th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Colby was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Friday as they fell 48-43 to Owen-Withee.
Stratford pushed their record up to 18-4 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.4 points over those games. As for Colby, their loss dropped their record down to 4-16.
Everything went Stratford's way against Colby in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, as Stratford made off with a 62-37 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Stratford since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
