The Harding County Ranchers will head out to face off against the Sundance Bulldogs at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Ranchers fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They snuck past Lead-Deadwood with a 64-60 win on Saturday.
Harding County's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Evan Meyer, who went 5 of 11 en route to 12 points along with six boards and four steals, and Cohen Smith, who went 7 of 15 on his way to 17 points and six rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Casey Lindholm, who posted 12 points.
Harding County smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 11 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive boards in eight consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sundance). They strolled past Kemmerer with points to spare on Saturday, taking the game 65-46.
