JJ Wetters was another key player, dropping a double-double with ten points and 12 assists. He is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last 18 games he's played.

The Vanguard School has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 82.0 points over those games. Rye has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. The Vanguard School will take on Manitou Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. One thing working in The Vanguard School's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last ten matchups. As for Rye, they will challenge Crowley County at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Crowley County will roll in looking for their eighth straight victory, something Rye surely won't give up without a fight.
