Basketball Game Preview: Camden Bulldogs vs. Dreher Blue Devils

Camden hasn't had much luck against Dreher recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Camden Bulldogs are taking a road trip to take on the Dreher Blue Devils at 6:00 p.m. One thing working in Camden's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.

Camden is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Lugoff-Elgin: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Camden blew Lugoff-Elgin out of the water with a 100-22 final score. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 26th, while the Demons are ranked 126th), the result two weeks ago wasn't entirely unexpected.

Morgan Champion continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, going 12 for 21 on her way to 34 points and five steals. She is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last nine games she's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Braylin Mungo, who dropped a triple-double on 16 points, 11 assists, and 12 steals.

Camden smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 22 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in ten consecutive games dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Dreher's strategy against York on Friday. Dreher put the hurt on York with a sharp 59-36 win. 59 seems to be a good number for the Blue Devils as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.

Camden is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 75.0 points per game. As for Dreher, the win got them back to even at 4-4.

Camden was dealt a bruising 79-32 loss at the hands of Dreher in their previous matchup back in February of 2016. Thankfully for Camden, Jhileiya Dunlap (who almost dropped a double-double on 37 points and nine boards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
