Glenn is on a four-game streak of home wins, while the Raiders are on a six-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Glenn Grizzlies will take on the Rouse Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Tuesday, Glenn sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 45-43 victory over the Timberwolves.
Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Rouse over the Hawks in every quarter on their way to victory on Tuesday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Rouse blew the Hawks out of the water with a 80-40 final score. Given Rouse's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 29th, while the Hawks are ranked 398th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Rouse's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Amarie Haywood led the charge by scoring 25 points along with six rebounds and two steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Haywood has scored all season. The team also got some help courtesy of Devin Brown, who scored 17 points along with six rebounds and two steals.
Glenn is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 18 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 20-9 record this season. As for Rouse, their win bumped their record up to 23-7.
Glenn ended up a good deal behind the Raiders in their previous meeting back in January, losing 60-45. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Rouse's Jojo Moore, who scored 27 points along with six rebounds. Now that Glenn knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
