Having just played yesterday, the Bob Hope Eagles will jump right back in to play the Sabine Pass Sharks at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Sabine Pass is hoping to do what Kirbyville couldn't on Friday: put an end to Bob Hope's winning streak, which now stands at four games. Bob Hope claimed a resounding 80-24 victory over Kirbyville. The Eagles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sabine Pass). They blew past Johnson Bayou 88-39 last Tuesday. The win was all the more spectacular given the Sharks' disadvantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 997th in Texas, while the Rebels are ranked 343rd in Louisiana).
Sabine Pass pushed their record up to 5-9 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.7 points per game. As for Bob Hope, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season.
Bob Hope won a contest that couldn't have been any closer in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, slipping by Sabine Pass 55-54. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bob Hope since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
