The Lamar Thunder and the Dumas Demons will face off at 5:30 p.m. on Friday without much rest, having both just played. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Lamar is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Mitchell 73-32. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 49-18.

Lamar relied on the efforts of Alex Williams, who posted 11 points and eight rebounds, and Andrew Chairez, who shot 71% from the field to rack up 11 points. Those 11 points gave Chairez a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Baylor Autry, who went 6-for-9 en route to 12 points.
Lamar smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 18 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dumas). They put the hurt on Bennett with a sharp 68-44 victory on Thursday. The Demons not only won on Thursday, but they posted their biggest win since January 24th (when they won 85-45).
Lamar beat Dumas 50-38 in their previous matchup back in December of 2024. Will the Thunder repeat their success, or do the Demons have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
