Pendleton Heights and Westfield are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2014, but not for long. The Pendleton Heights Arabians will host the Westfield Shamrocks at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hopefully Pendleton Heights focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up five on Saturday.
Last Saturday, Pendleton Heights came up short against Wapahani and fell 62-51. The loss continues a trend for the Arabians in their matchups with the Raiders: they've now lost three in a row.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Cooper Sims, who went 9 for 14 en route to 23 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Ashaan Singh, who went 6 for 8 en route to 13 points plus six rebounds.
Meanwhile, Westfield took care of business in their home opener on Saturday (and then some). They took their contest with ease, bagging an 87-17 victory over Frankfort. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 49-3.
Jalen Malone went supernova for Westfield, going 7 for 10 en route to 17 points plus five rebounds and three steals. The dominant performance also gave Malone a new career-high in assists (four). Durante Morton was another key player, posting eight points in addition to seven rebounds and two steals.
Pendleton Heights might still be hurting after the 64-39 defeat they got from Westfield in their previous meeting back in November of 2023. Thankfully for Pendleton Heights, Trey Buchanan (who went 7 for 16 en route to 21 points plus five rebounds and three steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
