Memorial has won eight straight games at home, while Shawnee has won eight straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. Having just played yesterday, the Memorial Chargers will get right back to it and host the Shawnee Wolves at 7:00 p.m. Memorial is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 53.5 points per game this season.
Memorial is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Guthrie 82-35. With the Chargers ahead 52-14 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Memorial's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jalil Cotton, who dropped a double-double with 14 points and ten boards. Antonio Love was another key player, going 6-for-7 en route to 17 points.
Meanwhile, Shawnee didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Nathan Hale two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 48-42 victory. Given the Wolves' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 108th in Oklahoma, while the Rangers are ranked 300th in Oklahoma), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Memorial is on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-4 record this season. Shawnee's win ended a five-game drought at home and bumped them up to 12-11.
