Carlisle is 0-10 against Blue Ridge since March of 2016 but things could change on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court against one another at 6:30 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Chiefs fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Oak Ridge Military Academy last Thursday, sneaking past 56-54. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Chiefs have posted since November 30, 2024.
Carlisle's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Alex Redd, who went 10-for-19 on his way to 26 points. Another player making a difference was Josh Wingfield, who posted 20 points.
Meanwhile, Blue Ridge escaped with a win last Friday against Greenfield by the margin of a single free throw, 62-61. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Barons.
Blue Ridge's win came from a few key players Carlisle will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Dreylan Creasy-Quirindoongo, who shot 47% from the field en route to 20 points and five boards. Kosi Mgbejiofer was another key player, putting up ten points in addition to eight rebounds and five blocks.
Blue Ridge was working as a unit and finished the game with 17 assists. They racked up six more assists than Greenfield's also-impressive total of 11.
Carlisle was dealt a bruising 75-18 defeat at the hands of Blue Ridge in their previous meeting back in January. Thankfully for the Chiefs, Lambert Brokamp (who dropped a double-double with 16 points and 11 boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
