Having just played yesterday, the Rogers Rams will get right back to it and host the Yelm Tornados at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Rogers knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 12 matches -- so hopefully Yelm likes a good challenge.
Rogers is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They managed a 79-74 victory over Bonney Lake on Friday. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 104th, while the Panthers are ranked 219th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
