If North Davidson wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Asheboro, they should've done a better job of containing Osiris Rodriguez. The Asheboro Blue Comets walked away with a 62-53 win over the North Davidson Black Knights on Thursday thanks in part to Rodriguez, who dropped a double-double with 26 points and ten rebounds. His evening made it four games in a row in which he has scored at least 16 points.

The team also got some help courtesy of Jalial Timmons, who posted 12 points. He has been hot, having also posted two or more steals the last seven times he's played.

Despite the loss, North Davidson saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Carson Everhart had 11 points. The dominant performance also gave Everhart a new career-high in assists (three). Carson Davis was another key player, going 5-for-8 to rack up 11 points.

Asheboro is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.9 points over those games. North Davidson's defeat was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 9-14.

Asheboro wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next contest, a 44-33 loss against Ledford on the 17th. North Davidson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
