The Clinton Red Devils will head out on the road to take on the Fairfield Central Griffins at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Clinton had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 28-point drubbing they dealt Mid-Carolina on Tuesday. Clinton blew past Mid-Carolina 55-27. The Red Devils have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine contests by 22 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Fairfield Central). They simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat Chester 60-22. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
The victory (which was Clinton's fourth in a row) raised their record to 19-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 26.8 points over those games. As for Fairfield Central, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-10 record this season.
Clinton strolled past Fairfield Central when the teams last played two weeks ago by a score of 40-23. The rematch might be a little tougher for Clinton since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
