The Riverdale Raiders are on the road again on Tuesday and plays the LaGrange Grangers at 7:30 p.m. on February 6th. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Riverdale scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Friday. They skirted past Troup County 83-81. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
It was another big night for Masiah Jones, who dropped a double-double on 32 points and 12 rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points he has scored all season. Micah Wyne was another key contributor, scoring 12 points along with six steals and five assists.
Meanwhile, LaGrange blew past the Tigers, posting a 77-50 win on the road. Given LaGrange's advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 148th, while the Tigers are ranked 312th), the result on Saturday wasn't entirely unexpected.
The win got Riverdale back to even at 11-11. LaGrange's record now sits at 17-6.
Riverdale couldn't quite finish off the Grangers when the teams last played back in January and fell 54-52. Can Riverdale avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
