Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glen Allen). They breezed by the Hylton Bulldogs to the tune of 88-54 on Monday. Given the Jaguars' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 67th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 369th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Glen Allen's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Chase James, who posted 20 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Rj Mickleberry, who scored 12 points along with five rebounds and four steals.
When it comes to explaining why Hylton lost, don't look at Amari Butler. Despite the final result, he went 9 of 19 on his way to 21 points. Braylen Cole was another key player, putting up six points and nine boards.
Glen Allen is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 72.0 points per game. As for Hylton, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost ten of their last 11 matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-16 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Glen Allen Jaguars take on the Armstrong Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Armstrong knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Glen Allen likes a good challenge. As for Hylton, they will host Osbourn Park at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Osbourn Park's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three games.
