After both having extra time off, the Perry Bluejays and the Nevada Cubs will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Perry is coming into the game on a six-game losing streak.
Perry is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Boone two weeks ago (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Perry was beaten by Boone 58-29. The Bluejays were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 34-6.

Despite the loss, Perry saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Lily Myers dropped a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds. Myers is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as she's now pulled down eight or more in the last 13 games she's played dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 60-23, which was the final score in Nevada's tilt against Prairie City-Monroe last Friday. While losing is never fun, the Cubs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 203rd, while the Mustangs are ranked 39th).
Nevada's defeat dropped their record down to 3-5. As for Perry, their loss dropped their record down to 3-6.
Perry might still be hurting after the 47-24 defeat they got from Nevada when the teams last played back in February. Will Perry have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
