The Sandhills Valley Mavericks are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will take on the Sumner-Eddyville-Miller Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
Sandhills Valley is leaving town to face Sumner-Eddyville-Miller after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Mavericks took a blow against Anselmo-Merna on Friday, falling 61-16. Mavericks fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Coyotes since Friday.
Sumner-Eddyville-Miller not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since January 7th (when they won 56-26). They put the hurt on Wilcox-Hildreth with a sharp 60-35 victory. The win continues a trend for the Mustangs in their matchups with the Falcons: they've now won eight in a row.
Sandhills Valley better keep an eye on Preston Beattie. He was instrumental in Sumner-Eddyville-Miller's win, going 11-for-18 on his way to 22 points in addition to five rebounds and four steals. Those 22 points gave Beattie a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Chance Daake, who posted five points along with five assists and five blocks.
Sandhills Valley didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Sumner-Eddyville-Miller when the teams last played back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 40-35 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Daake, who shot 40% from the field to rack up 20 points and five boards. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Mavericks still be able to contain Daake? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
