Are you ready for a rematch?

Last Friday night the Huron and Pioneer girls' basketball teams faced off against one another in what was the final game of the regular season for each team.
Huron won the contest 58-48, however, Pioneer might be able to get a little bit of revenge.
On Wednesday, Huron defeated South Lyon and Pioneer beat up on Pinckney in the second round of district play, ousting both the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the tournament.
Which means on Friday night, the two teams will face off in a rematch.
Only this next game has a lot more on the line, with the winner taking the district championship and advancing to the regional, while the loser goes home.
Pioneer star guard Kamilah Carter will face off against Huron's big gun, senior DeVonyea Johnson in what will surely be the most important game of the season for both teams.

My take: It's hard to pick a team to win back-to-back games against any opponent, however, I think Huron will take this game. Pioneer has had to rely on Carter for most of its scoring all season long, while Huron had been able to win games without Johnson. If these two players cancel out one another, Huron is still the better team. The River Rats take this one 52-46.
