The Jefferson Forest Cavaliers will challenge the Glass Hilltoppers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Back in December of 2024, Jefferson Forest strolled past Amherst County with points to spare, taking the game 52-37. Given the Cavaliers' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 111th, while the Lancers are ranked 245th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glass). They claimed a resounding 64-33 victory over Brookville. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Jefferson Forest has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 50.8 points per game. As for Glass, their record now sits at 4-5.
Jefferson Forest beat Glass 55-45 in their previous meeting back in February of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jefferson Forest since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
