Cyprus has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will challenge the Davis Darts at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Cyprus strolled past Farmington with points to spare, taking the game 58-43. The win was just what Cyprus needed coming off of a 76-52 defeat in their prior matchup.
Cyprus' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Tamila Francis, who scored 18 points along with 5 assists and 3 steals. That makes it two consecutive games in which Francis has scored at least 25% of Cyprus' points. The team also got some help courtesy of Amelia Echternkamp, who scored 16 points along with 5 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Davis put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They enjoyed a cozy 56-37 win over Timpview. That's two games straight that Davis has won by exactly 19 points.
The losses dropped Cyprus to 3-2 and Farmington to 0-4.
Cyprus came up short against Davis in their previous meeting back in December of 2022, falling 61-51. Can Cyprus avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
