The Alief Taylor Lions's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Katy Taylor Mustangs at 1:00 p.m. on November 30th. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up ten more assists than your opponent, a fact Alief Taylor proved last Tuesday. They strolled past Conroe with points to spare, taking the game 56-40. Given Alief Taylor's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 108th, while Conroe is ranked 703rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Nataliyah Gray was her usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 24 points and 13 rebounds. The matchup was her 11th in a row with at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Madison Bush-lewis, who scored 13 points along with 8 assists.
Even though Katy Taylor has not done well against Seven Lakes recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. Katy Taylor enjoyed a cozy 58-43 victory over Seven Lakes.
Alief Taylor's win lifted them to 9-2 while Conroe's loss dropped them down to 2-7.
