Wood Memorial is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They came out on top against Springs Valley by a score of 69-60. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 143rd, while the Blackhawks are ranked 339th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Northeast Dubois had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.5 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Eagles 70-36. The Jeeps have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight games by 21 points or more this season.
Wood Memorial has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.3 points over those games. Northeast Dubois' win bumped their record up to 15-9.
Wood Memorial couldn't quite finish off Northeast Dubois when the teams last played back in February and fell 59-57. Can Wood Memorial avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
