The Burrell Bucs will head out on the road to face off against the Plum Mustangs at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Burrell didn't have too much trouble with Valley at home as they won 58-44. Given Burrell's advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 271st, while Valley is ranked 617th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Plum came into Friday's match having lost ten straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They enjoyed a cozy 62-46 victory over Armstrong on Friday.
The win made it two in a row for Burrell and bumps their season record up to 12-7. As for Plum, their victory ended a eight-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 6-14.
Burrell skirted past Plum 46-43 in their previous meeting back in December of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for Burrell since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
