Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as Denton and Heritage are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Denton hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 56.6 points per game. However, it's not like Heritage struggles in that department as they've been averaging 67.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Denton might still be hurting after the 70-50 loss they got from Heritage in their previous matchup last Friday. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Lomax, who went 6 for 9 en route to 17 points plus six assists and six steals. Now that Denton knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
