Jellico has gone 7-1 against Rockwood recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. The Jellico Blue Devils will host the Rockwood Tigers at 7:00 p.m. Jellico has given up an average of 65.9 points per game this season, so hopefully the team got some defensive drills in this week.
Jellico is headed into the game having just suffered their closest loss since January 16th on Tuesday. They fell just short of Oliver Springs by a score of 64-61. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game last Friday (59), the Blue Devils still had to take the loss.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Gavin Dabney, who went 5-for-12 en route to 17 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Dre Webb, who posted 15 points.
Meanwhile, Rockwood beat Oakdale 47-35 on Tuesday. The Tigers haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive victory against them.
Jellico better keep an eye on Jayden Davidson. He was instrumental in Rockwood's win, almost dropping a double-double with 20 points and nine boards. Those nine rebounds gave Davidson a new career-high. Collin Abston was another key player, putting up six points along with seven boards and five assists.
Jellico has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-15 record this season. Rockwood's win bumped their record up to 8-18.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Jellico has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 29.6 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Rockwood struggles in that department as they've been averaging 26.8 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Everything went Jellico's way against Rockwood in their previous matchup back in January, as Jellico made off with a 69-44 victory. Will Jellico repeat their success, or does Rockwood have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
