The Taft Wildcats are taking a road trip to take on the Kennedy Thunderbirds at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Taft comes in on four and Kennedy on three.
Last Friday, Taft was able to grind out a solid victory over Shafter, taking the game 43-35. The 43-point effort marked the Wildcats' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kennedy). They breezed by Wasco to the tune of 69-39 on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Kennedy's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-10. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.0 points per game. As for Taft, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a massive bump to their 12-9 record this season.
Taft didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Kennedy in their previous meeting last Tuesday, but they still walked away with a 45-40 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Taft since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
