Buckhorn will head into Saturday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 29-point drubbing they dealt Bartow on Saturday. Buckhorn blew past Bartow, posting a 75-46 win.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Florence). They claimed a resounding 88-55 victory over Randolph School. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 11th, while the Raiders are ranked 143rd), the result on Saturday wasn't entirely unexpected.
