The Treutlen Vikings will head out on the road to take on the East Laurens Falcons at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Treutlen's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.
Treutlen is headed into the game having just posted their closest victory since February 17, 2024 on Thursday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Jenkins County, sneaking past 62-59.
Meanwhile, East Laurens had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. They walked away with a 53-42 win over the Indians. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 72nd, while the Indians are ranked 309th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
East Laurens' victory was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-2. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.4 points per game. As for Treutlen, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season.
Treutlen didn't have too much breathing room in their match against East Laurens in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 66-61 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was East Laurens' Kyan Snead, who almost dropped a double-double on 22 points and nine boards. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be easier for Treutlen to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
