The Hart Hawks are taking a road trip to challenge the Saugus Centurions at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Hart took a loss when they played away from home on Monday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They took their game with ease, bagging a 51-19 victory over Golden Valley. The Hawks have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight contests by 22 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Saugus' strategy against West Ranch on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Saugus blew West Ranch out of the water with a 48-19 final score. Given the Centurions' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 181st, while the Wildcats are ranked 744th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Saugus is also on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches, which provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 50.6 points per game. As for Hart, they pushed their record up to 16-7 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home.
Everything went Hart's way against Saugus in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as Hart made off with a 60-35 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hart since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
