The Hanford Bullpups will challenge the Liberty Patriots at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Hanford's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three matches.
Last Thursday, Hanford was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 71-66 to Tulare Western.
Meanwhile, Liberty came into Thursday's contest having lost five straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 54-52 victory over Centennial on Thursday. The win was all the more spectacular given the Patriots' disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 723rd, while the Golden Hawks are ranked 232nd).
Hanford's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 12-7. As for Liberty, their victory bumped their record up to 7-11.
