The Beacon Bulldogs are taking a road trip to take on the Haldane Blue Devils at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Beacon comes in on six and Haldane on three.
Last Tuesday, Beacon didn't have too much trouble with Port Jervis as they won 71-53. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 130th, while the Raiders are ranked 507th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Haldane beat Spackenkill 52-47 on Sunday.
Haldane has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matches, which provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.8 points per game. As for Beacon, their victory was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-3.
Beacon didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Haldane in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, but they still walked away with a 67-62 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Beacon since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
