The Sumner Spartans will face off against the Olympia Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Sumner's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last nine matches.
Last Thursday, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Sumner beat Spanaway Lake 65-61. Given the Spartans' advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 74th, while the Sentinels are ranked 253rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Olympia). They took down Rogers 79-60 on Thursday. The win was nothing new for the Bears as they're now sitting on four straight.
Sumner is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.6 points per game. As for Olympia, they pushed their record up to 11-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home.
Sumner didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Olympia when the teams last played back in February of 2024, but they still walked away with a 54-50 win. Will Sumner repeat their success, or does Olympia have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
