The Hillsdale Academy Colts will square off against the Concord Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Concord will be up against a hot Hillsdale Academy squad: the team just extended their winning streak to four. Hillsdale Academy blew past Reading 56-30 on Wednesday. The Colts have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten contests by 23 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Concord was fully in charge on Wednesday, breezing past Will Carleton Academy 71-25. Given the Yellowjackets' advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 279th in Michigan, while the Cougars are ranked 580th in Michigan), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Concord is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.9 points over those games. Hillsdale Academy's win bumped their record up to 18-5.
Things could have been worse for Hillsdale Academy, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 59-45 loss to Concord in their previous matchup back in December of 2024. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Concord's Connor Stevens, who went 10-for-16 en route to 26 points along with eight rebounds and three steals. Now that Hillsdale Academy knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
