Two dominant guards in Dean Rueckert and Kayden Stark are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Timpview Thunderbirds will take on the Kearns Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
If Kearns heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Timpview took over last week. Timpview secured a 64-60 W over Maple Mountain on Friday. Given the Thunderbirds' advantage in MaxPreps' Utah basketball rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Golden Eagles are ranked 59th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, it can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Kearns had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They managed a 71-67 win over the Dons. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Cougars.
Timpview has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.8 points over those games. Kearns' victory bumped their record up to 14-10.
Timpview strolled past Kearns in their previous matchup back in November of 2019 by a score of 49-35. Does Timpview have another victory up their sleeve, or will Kearns turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
