Meanwhile, Mitchell came up short against Sierra on Tuesday and fell 41-28. While losing is never fun, the Marauders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 311th, while the Stallions are ranked 153rd).

That was a full 53.6% of Mitchell's points, marking the seventh time in a row she's scored more than a third of the team's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jordyn Roberts, who had four points and five rebounds.
Falcon pushed their record up to 14-6 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 14.3 points over those games. As for Mitchell, their loss dropped their record down to 3-17.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Falcon has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 34.4 boards per game. However, it's not like Mitchell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 34.3 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Everything came up roses for Falcon against Mitchell when the teams last played two weeks ago, as the team secured a 60-18 victory. In that match, Falcon amassed a halftime lead of 35-11, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
