Norwood and Westwood are an even 5-5 against one another since February of 2020, but not for long. The Norwood Mustangs are taking a road trip to take on the Westwood Wolverines at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Norwood will head into Tuesday's matchup on the come-up: they were handed a heart-breaking three-point loss in their last contest, but they sure didn't let that happen against Ashland on Tuesday. Norwood took their game with ease, bagging a 70-39 victory over Ashland. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts basketball rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while the Clockers are ranked 286th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Westwood had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15.6 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Tuesday. They came out on top against the Panthers by a score of 66-55.
Westwood pushed their record up to 12-5 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.3 points per game. As for Norwood, their victory bumped their record up to 13-4.
Norwood didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Westwood in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 60-54 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Norwood since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
