Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as Mullins and Atlantic Collegiate Academy are some of the highest-scoring teams around. Mullins hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 63.9 points per game. However, it's not like Atlantic Collegiate Academy struggles in that department as they've been averaging 65 points. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can put up more.
Mullins came out on top in a nail-biter against Atlantic Collegiate Academy in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, sneaking past 66-64. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mullins since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
