The Aubrey Chaparrals will head out on the road to take on the Panther Creek Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Aubrey's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 13 contests.
Last Tuesday, Aubrey narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Van Alstyne 56-54. Given the Chaparrals' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 171st, while the Panthers are ranked 770th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Panther Creek had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 22.7 points) and they went ahead and made it eight on Friday. They took down the Panthers 72-58. Panther Creek pushed the score to 59-38 by the end of the third, a deficit Van Alstyne cut but never quite recovered from.
Aubrey has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matches, which provided a nice bump to their 20-8 record this season. As for Panther Creek, their win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 23-8.
Aubrey might still be hurting after the 76-56 loss they got from Panther Creek in their previous meeting back in January. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Panther Creek's JAELEN BLOCK-HILL, who went 9 of 10 on his way to 20 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Now that Aubrey knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
