The Agricultural Science Cyclones will take on the Farragut Admirals in a holiday battle at at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Agricultural Science has four straight victories, Farragut has five straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Agricultural Science will head into Thursday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 40-point drubbing they dealt Englewood Stem on Thursday. Agricultural Science blew past Englewood Stem 75-35. Given the Cyclones' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 236th, while the Panthers are ranked 569th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
