Two dominant guards in Davin Chandler and Zakai Smullen are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Decatur Seahawks will venture away from home to challenge the Bennett Clippers at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams are coming into the matchup red-hot, with Decatur sitting on five straight victories and Bennett on eight.
On Saturday, Decatur strolled past Wicomico with points to spare, taking the game 65-51. Given the Seahawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 46th, while the Indians are ranked 132nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bennett). They walked away with an 83-76 win over Pocomoke on Thursday.
Bennett pushed their record up to 14-4 with the victory, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.5 points over those games. As for Decatur, their win bumped their record up to 16-3.
Decatur was able to grind out a solid victory over Bennett in their previous meeting back in January, winning 58-51. The rematch might be a little tougher for Decatur since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
