The Evans Trojans will head out to challenge the Winter Park Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Evans comes in on seven and Winter Park on six.
Last Tuesday, Evans earned a 65-58 victory over Wekiva. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked ninth, while the Mustangs are ranked 245th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Winter Park blew past Horizon, posting a 54-20 win. The Wildcats have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven contests by 26 points or more this season.
Winter Park has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.5 points per game. As for Evans, their victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-4.
Evans skirted past Winter Park 67-64 in their previous matchup back in January of 2016. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Winter Park's Wyatt Wilkes, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and 12 boards. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Evans to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
