Having just played yesterday, the Amboy Clippers will jump right back in to play the Dakota Indians at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Amboy will head into Friday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 24-point drubbing they dealt Fulton on Friday. Everything went Amboy's way against Fulton as Amboy made off with a 47-23 win. Winning may never get old, but the Clippers sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Meanwhile, Dakota came tearing into Friday's game with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 19 points) and they left with even more momentum. They took their match with ease, bagging a 50-14 victory over the Cardinals. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 272nd, while the Cardinals are ranked 609th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Amboy pushed their record up to 12-6 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home. As for Dakota, they have been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests, which provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season.
Amboy came out on top in a nail-biter against Dakota in their previous matchup back in February of 2022, sneaking past 29-26. Will Amboy repeat their success, or does Dakota have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
