Last Friday, everything came up roses for Hutchinson against Newton as the team secured a 68-16 win. Given the Salthawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 45th, while the Railroaders are ranked 287th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maize). They snuck past Haysville Campus with a 47-43 victory on Friday.
Hutchinson's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-5. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.2 points over those games. As for Maize, their victory bumped their record up to 5-12-1.
Hutchinson strolled past Maize when the teams last played back in December of 2024 by a score of 50-34. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hutchinson since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
