Athens vs. Cary (old rivals meet again)

It's time for our second Rivalry game this week. This time the Imps of Cary visit Athens for a match up of 2 teams going in different directions. Cary 1-4 coming off of a thumping at the hands of Green Hope is looking to break back into the win column tonight.

Athens currently on a 6 game winning streak is looking to end a tough stretch of 6 games in just 11 days (5-0 so far) which included a trip to Lee County followed by a home game vs Broughton. The Broughton game was a tough game but the Lady Jags pulled out a 55-50 victory and secured a season sweep. This is the first time in the modern era of Athens Girls Basketball that Athens has swept Broughton during the regualar season.

Athens is currently on a 7 game win streak vs. Cary. The last Cary victory in the series dates back to the Semi-Finals of the Tri-8 tournament in 2007 when Cary defeated Athens 51-48. The last regular season victory Cary had in the series was earlier that season when Cary defended their home floor with a 66-58 win over the Jags.
