The Nation Ford Falcons will venture away from home to take on the Rock Hill Bearcats at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Nation Ford's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last five games.
Nation Ford is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Indian Land just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Tuesday. They lost to the Warriors at home by a 73-55 margin. While losing is never fun, the Falcons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 55th, while the Warriors are ranked seventh).
Nation Ford's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Chase Walters, who went 6 for 15 on his way to 20 points, and Anthony Pryer, who posted 14 points. Walters is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games. The team also got some help courtesy of Drew Robertson, who earned eight points and six assists.
