The Kittitas Coyotes will venture away from home to challenge the White Swan Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Kittitas is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering La Salle just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Saturday. They were outmatched by the Lightning and fell 79-50. While losing is never fun, the Coyotes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 214th, while the Lightning are ranked 103rd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask White Swan). They breezed by Goldendale to the tune of 77-49 on Saturday. Winning may never get old, but the Cougars sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
White Swan has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-9 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.2 points per game. As for Kittitas, their loss was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 8-8.
Kittitas beat White Swan 61-54 when the teams last played back in December of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kittitas since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
