There's no place like home for Colby, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They blew past the Cimarron Bluejays 64-43 on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 46th, while the Bluejays are ranked 212th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

When it comes to explaining why Cimarron lost, don't look at Trace Kopper. Despite the final result, he went 8-for-20 to rack up 20 points. Kopper is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Trent Briggs, who posted eight points.

Colby's win bumped their record up to 10-7. As for Cimarron, their loss was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 4-14.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Colby will square off against Scott on Tuesday. Scott will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something Colby surely won't give up without a fight. As for Cimarron, it'll be a Battle of the Birds when the Bluejays take on the Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
