Having just played yesterday, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/tampa\/berkeley-prep-buccaneers\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Berkeley Prep Buccaneers<\/a> will head out on the road to face off against the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/st-petersburg\/st-petersburg-green-devils\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">St. Petersburg Green Devils<\/a>  at 7:00  p.m.  on Saturday. Both come into the  matchup bolstered by wins in their previous  matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">While Berkeley Prep&#8217;s  win against Lakeland wasn&#8217;t quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Buccaneers sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with  a  51-48  victory over the Dreadnaughts  on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that&#8217;s the closest  win the Buccaneers have posted  since February 3, 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\">Meanwhile, St. Petersburg had to endure  a  three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They enjoyed a cozy  74-57 victory over Hollins on Tuesday. Given the Green Devils&#8217; advantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 137th, while the Royals are ranked 366th) , the result wasn&#8217;t entirely unexpected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\">St. Petersburg&#8217;s win came from a few key players that Berkeley Prep will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/st-petersburg\/st-petersburg-green-devils\/athletes\/kayden-calhoun\/?careerid=vh4ubiarffcqa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kayden Calhoun<\/a>, who  posted nine points. What&#8217;s more,  he also posted a 75%  shooting accuracy, which is the highest he&#8217;s  achieved since back in February of 2025. Another player making a difference was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/st-petersburg\/st-petersburg-green-devils\/athletes\/nicholas-wilson\/?careerid=aov1uh47080bb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Nicholas Wilson<\/a>, who  put up ten  points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> St. Petersburg  smashed the offensive glass and  finished the game with 20  offensive boards. That&#8217;s the most  offensive rebounds they&#8217;ve managed all season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Berkeley Prep&#8217;s win bumped their record up to 4-9. As for St. Petersburg,  the  victory  got them back to even at 8-8.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two dominant guards in Gabe Grimsley and Nijaun Harris are getting ready to go toe-to-toe.
