Eagleville’s Strong Start

Eagleville (24-25) has been one of the standout teams this season, boasting a solid 6-1 record overall.

Their strong finish has allowed them to keep control in most games, making them a tough opponent for anyone.

Richland’s Competitive Edge

Richland, based in Lynnville, TN, is another team to watch. They enter this matchup with a 4-2 record and a strong 2-0 mark at home. Their offensive output averages 56.8 points per game, with 15.0 points per quarter in the first two periods, and a slight increase in the second half, scoring 20.5 points in the third and 17.0 points in the fourth. This balanced offensive approach allows them to stay competitive throughout the game, but they will need to elevate their performance if they hope to take down the high-scoring Eagleville team.
