Brownsburg is 9-1 against Avon since December of 2020 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. The Brownsburg Bulldogs will take on the Avon Orioles in a tournament on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.

Everything went their way against North Central on Saturday as Avon made off with a 78-55 win. The Orioles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 23 points or more this season.
Brownsburg better keep an eye on Aniah Smith. She was instrumental in Avon's win, going 9 of 17 on her way to 26 points and five steals.

The team also got some help courtesy of Makaylee Butts, who went 6 of 12 on her way to 13 points and eight rebounds.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as Brownsburg and Avon are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Brownsburg hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 62.2 points per game. However, it's not like Avon struggles in that department as they've been averaging 63.1 points.
