The Biggs Wolverines will face off against the Willows Honkers at 12:45 p.m. on Friday. Biggs will be strutting in after a win while Willows will be coming in after a loss.
Biggs had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They claimed a resounding 61-30 victory over Providence. The Wolverines pushed the score to 42-22 by the end of the third, a deficit the Lions had little chance of recovering from.
Biggs relied on the efforts of Skyler Long, who almost dropped a double-double on 20 points and nine rebounds, and Hunter Seipert, who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 11 steals. Long's evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Johnny Conn, who earned eight points plus seven rebounds and three blocks.
Biggs smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 21 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in 16 consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, a win for Willows just wasn't in the cards on Wednesday as the team wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They had to suffer through a 64-32 loss at the hands of Redding Christian. The Honkers have struggled against the Lions recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Everything went Biggs' way against Willows in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, as Biggs made off with a 59-39 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Biggs since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
