Holcomb has won three straight games at home, while Goodland has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Holcomb Longhorns will host the Goodland Cowboys at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Tuesday, Holcomb earned a 60-47 win over Ulysses. Given the Longhorns' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 25th, while the Tigers are ranked 155th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Goodland didn't have too much trouble with Syracuse on Monday as they won 59-44. The victory continues a trend for the Cowboys in their matchups with the Bulldogs: they've now won four in a row.
Holcomb is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.3 points over those games. Goodland's win bumped their record up to 17-2.
Holcomb didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Goodland when the teams last played back in January, but they still walked away with a 59-55 victory. Does Holcomb have another victory up their sleeve, or will Goodland turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
