The Sprayberry Yellow Jackets are taking a road trip to challenge the Tri-Cities Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Sprayberry is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 70-49 margin over Gainesville. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Yellow Jackets' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 86th, while the Red Elephants are ranked 21st).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tri-Cities). They strolled past Morrow with points to spare on Wednesday, taking the game 103-89.
Tri-Cities' win came from a few key players Sprayberry will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Jalan Wingfield, who dropped a double-double with 29 points and 15 rebounds. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in blocks (six). Tre Keith was another key player, dropping a double-double with 26 points and ten assists.
Tri-Cities was working as a unit and finished the game with 30 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Sprayberry is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 16-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.0 points over those games. Tri-Cities' win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-6.
