The Kennard Tigers are taking a road trip to take on the Goodrich Hornets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Kennard will be strutting in after a victory while Goodrich will be coming in after a defeat.
Last Tuesday, Kennard didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Leggett, but they still walked away with a 67-63 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Tigers.
Kennard's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jay Benton, who went 6 for 13 en route to 16 points plus six rebounds and four blocks. The team also got some help courtesy of Deuce Harrell, who dropped a double-double on 22 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, Goodrich couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were beaten by Onalaska 97-7 on Tuesday. The Hornets have struggled against the Wildcats recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Kennard beat Goodrich 58-45 when the teams last played back in December of 2020. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Goodrich's Joacxi Garzon, who had 34 points. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Kennard to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
