The Sandalwood Saints are taking a road trip to challenge the Raines Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Among those leading the charge was Sydney B. Mathis Jr, who posted 17 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Anthony Evans, who earned 11 points.
Meanwhile, Raines posted their closest win since February 20th on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 64-62 victory over First Coast.

Sandalwood skirted past Raines 72-69 when the teams last played back in January of 2022. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Raines' Trevon Nevarez, who went 10 for 16 on his way to 22 points in addition to six assists and three steals. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Sandalwood to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
