The Battle Spartans will venture away from home to challenge the Helias Crusaders at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Tuesday, Battle made easy work of Capital City and carried off an 84-58 win. The Spartans have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven contests by 22 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Helias had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 19.4 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Saturday. They came out on top against the Lions by a score of 61-52.
Helias' victory bumped their record up to 13-9. As for Battle, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 12 games, which provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season.
Battle took their win against Helias when the teams last played back in February of 2024 by a conclusive 75-52. The rematch might be a little tougher for Battle since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
