The Buckhorn Bucks are taking a road trip to face off against the Hazel Green Trojans at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Buckhorn's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four contests.
Buckhorn will head into Tuesday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by 58) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Mae Jemison 63-60. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Bucks have posted since December 20, 2024.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hazel Green). They breezed by Berkmar to the tune of 72-42 on Monday. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 34th in Alabama, while the Patriots are ranked 177th in Georgia), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Buckhorn pushed their record up to 17-6 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.7 points per game. As for Hazel Green, their win bumped their record up to 14-10.
Buckhorn didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Hazel Green in their previous meeting on January 3rd, but they still walked away with a 54-50 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Buckhorn since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
