South Stokes is on a 28-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Carver is on a five-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The South Stokes Sauras will welcome the Carver Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. South Stokes knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past six contests -- so hopefully Carver likes a good challenge.
South Stokes is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They took down Elkin 62-44. The Sauras haven't had any issues with the Buckin' Elks recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
Meanwhile, Carver posted their closest victory since January 23rd on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Cherokee, sneaking past 68-65.
Carver has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.5 points over those games. South Stokes' win bumped their record up to 25-2.
South Stokes strolled past Carver in their previous meeting back in December of 2019 by a score of 66-51. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Carver's Curtis Wilborn, who dropped a double-double with 21 points and ten boards. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for South Stokes to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
