The Ashbrook Greenwave will face off against the Huss Huskies at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Ashbrook's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 22 contests.
Last Tuesday, Ashbrook beat Kings Mountain 77-64. Given the Greenwave's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 35th, while the Mountaineers are ranked 176th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Crest typically has all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Huss proved too difficult a challenge. They secured a 90-84 W over the Chargers.
Huss found their leader in freshman Jaleel Smith, who went 14-for-20 en route to 40 points along with seven rebounds and five assists. Smith's evening made it 12 games in a row in which he has scored at least 15 points. Antonio Worthy was another key player, going 9-for-15 on his way to 23 points.
Huss has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 87.4 points over those games. Ashbrook pushed their record up to 22-3 with the win, which was their 16th straight at home dating back to last season.
Ashbrook didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Huss in their previous matchup on Friday, but they still walked away with a 95-89 victory. Will Ashbrook repeat their success, or does Huss have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
