Head-to-Head
This game will be the first of two meetings between these two teams this season. Guntersville will travel to Scottsboro on December 13, and Scottsboro will then host Guntersville on January 7, 2025. Historically, Guntersville has a 1-0 advantage against Scottsboro in their common opponent matchups, including a hard-fought win over Madison Academy. Scottsboro, however, is coming off two decisive victories against teams like Fairview and Arab, both of which Guntersville will face in the upcoming weeks.

Guntersville defeated Madison Academy 56-52 earlier in the season, while Scottsboro has dominated their common opponents with victories over Fairview (65-36) and Arab (68-45). This gives Scottsboro a slight edge in recent form against similar competition.
Looking Ahead
As both teams look to continue their successful seasons, this matchup will provide a strong early-season test for both sides. Guntersville will need to make the most of their road game to secure a vital conference win, while Scottsboro aims to continue their hot streak at home. The rivalry continues when the teams meet again on January 7, 2025, when Guntersville hopes to bounce back and avenge the loss.
With both teams showing promise and strong play so far this season, this game is shaping up to be one of the most exciting basketball matchups of the month in Alabama. Don’t miss it!
