Two dominant guards in Arosco Dubois and King Mcfadden are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. After both having extra time off, the Evans Trojans and the Tocoi Creek Toros will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court one another at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Evans' favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 16 contests.
Evans is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup last Thursday. They managed a 77-72 victory over Edgewater.

Evans' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but David Rushing led the charge by putting up 24 points in addition to eight rebounds and three steals. With that strong performance, Rushing is now averaging an impressive 15.2 points per game. Another player making a difference was Dubois, who almost dropped a double-double with 24 points and nine boards.
Evans smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 13 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 12 offensive rebounds in four consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, Tocoi Creek waltzed into their game last Thursday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They strolled past the Silverhawks with points to spare, taking the game 58-40.
Evans better focus on containing Tyson Gilbert and Marc Mitchell as the pair were huge in Tocoi Creek's win. Gilbert shot 82% from the field en route to 18 points, while Mitchell went 7-for-8 to rack up 15 points. That's the most points Mitchell has posted since back in November of 2024. Mcfadden was another key player, putting up five points along with ten rebounds and seven assists.
Evans is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-6 record this season. Tocoi Creek's win bumped their record up to 27-3.
