Discovery Canyon is on a five-game streak of home wins, while Sand Creek is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Discovery Canyon Thunder will host the Sand Creek Scorpions at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Discovery Canyon knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past six games -- so hopefully Sand Creek likes a good challenge.

Given the Scorpions' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 72nd, while the Huskies are ranked 222nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
