The Culbertson Cowboys will take on the Lambert/Richey R&L Fusion in a holiday battle at at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Culbertson lost 65-39 to Poplar on Tuesday. The Cowboys have struggled against the Indians recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Bridger Salvevold, who went 5 of 7 on his way to 11 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Mark Kirkaldie, who posted six points along with five rebounds and three blocks.
Meanwhile, Lambert/Richey had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 54-41 hit to the loss column at the hands of Wibaux on Saturday. The R&L Fusion just can't catch a break and have now endured 17 defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Everything went Culbertson's way against Lambert/Richey in their previous meeting back in January, as Culbertson made off with a 57-36 victory. Will Culbertson repeat their success, or does Lambert/Richey have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
