The Prospect Ridge Academy Miners will take on the Bennett Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Bennett will be up against a hot Prospect Ridge Academy squad: the team just extended their winning streak to five. Prospect Ridge Academy was the clear victors by an 81-61 margin over Stargate School on Wednesday. Given the Miners' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 50th in Colorado, while the Eagles are ranked 147th in Colorado), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Bennett blew past Alameda, posting an 85-34 victory.
Bennett had a senior duo take command as Owen Stiers went 7-for-13 from beyond the arc to rack up 30 points and five steals and Jayden Ivory almost dropped a double-double with 24 points and nine boards. With that strong performance, Stiers is now averaging an impressive 2.1 steals per game. Another player making a difference was Avant Dickens, who posted nine points.
Bennett has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.9 points over those games. Prospect Ridge Academy's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-6.
