The Scott Skyhawks will challenge the Buffalo Bison at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Scott has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.
Scott is headed into the contest after thoroughly thrashing Poca: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Scott blew Poca out of the water with a 69-24 final score. The Skyhawks have beaten the The Dots the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the The Dots has come to flipping the script.
Meanwhile, Buffalo entered their tilt with Point Pleasant on Wednesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They came out on top against the Big Blacks by a score of 39-26. Given the Bison's advantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 41st, while the Big Blacks are ranked 623rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Buffalo's win came from a few key players Scott will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Brooke Woods, who dropped a double-double on ten points and ten boards. Woods is also crushing it when it comes to steals: she's grabbed at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Anna Boggess, who posted eight points and nine rebounds.
Buffalo smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 11 offensive boards in nine consecutive games.
Buffalo pushed their record up to 11-4 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 51.6 points over those games. As for Scott, their win bumped their record up to 4-10.
Things could have been worse for Scott, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 56-39 loss to Buffalo when the teams last played back in January.
