Carroll is 2-8 against Homestead since December of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Friday. The Carroll Chargers will head out on the road to face off against the Homestead Spartans at 7:30 p.m. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Carroll can finally bid farewell to their five-game losing streak thanks to their game on Tuesday. They blew past DeKalb 64-44. The win was all the more spectacular given Carroll's disadvantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 248th, while DeKalb is ranked 98th).

Meanwhile, Homestead didn't have too much trouble with Huntington North on the road last Tuesday as they won 58-42.
