It'll be a Battle of the Birds when the Perry Bluejays duke it out with the Saydel Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday... One thing working in Perry's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last six matchups.
Perry took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Roland-Story, sneaking past 60-58. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Bluejays have posted since December 5, 2024.
Perry got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Geren Kenney out in front who dropped a double-double on 14 points and 11 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Owen Myers, who almost dropped a double-double on 15 points and nine boards.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Saydel). They snuck past West Marshall with a 70-66 win on Friday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Eagles.
Perry has also been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. As for Saydel, their victory bumped their record up to 7-8.
Perry was able to grind out a solid win over Saydel when the teams last played back in December of 2024, winning 63-53. The rematch might be a little tougher for Perry since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
