Keep an eye on the score for this one:  the two teams posted some lofty  point totals in their previous games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">On Monday, Riverview Sarasota didn&#8217;t have too much trouble with Palmetto  as they won  72-55. The final result isn&#8217;t all that surprising considering the Rams&#8217; considerable advantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 201st, while the Tigers are ranked 500th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> Riverview Sarasota relied on the efforts of  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/sarasota\/riverview-sarasota-rams\/athletes\/josh-harris\/?careerid=06bu18umrd5h1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Josh Harris<\/a>, who  shot 41% from the field on his way to 27  points in addition to five  assists and three  steals, and  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/sarasota\/riverview-sarasota-rams\/athletes\/carter-evans\/?careerid=pe6ddnrdlv3rb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Carter Evans<\/a>, who  dropped  a double-double with 23 points and 12  rebounds. That makes it four consecutive games in which  Harris has scored at least a third of the Rams&#8217; points. The team also got some help courtesy of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/sarasota\/riverview-sarasota-rams\/athletes\/brett-hall\/?careerid=0tt43insj0600\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Brett Hall<\/a>, who  posted nine  points and five  boards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\">Meanwhile, St. Petersburg had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 23 points) and they went ahead and made it eight on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Spartans as they made off with  a  72-48 win. The Green Devils have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine  contests by 20  points or more this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> St. Petersburg found their leader in sophomore <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/st-petersburg\/st-petersburg-green-devils\/athletes\/nijaun-harris\/?careerid=3g69knu74f5k4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Nijaun Harris<\/a>, who  put up 28 points. The  matchup was  Harris&#8217; 25th in a row with at least 15 points. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/fl\/st-petersburg\/st-petersburg-green-devils\/athletes\/zak-mellouki\/?careerid=5qohm6fpjtdh1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Zak Mellouki<\/a> was another key player,  putting up 12  points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Riverview Sarasota&#8217;s victory bumped their record up to 15-8. As for St. Petersburg, their win bumped their record up to an identical 15-8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:7\">Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as  the two teams are some of the highest-scoring teams around. Riverview Sarasota hasn&#8217;t had any problem running up the score this season,  having  averaged 66.4 points per game. However, it&#8217;s not like St. Petersburg struggles in that department as   they&#8217;ve been averaging 68.3  points. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can put up more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:8\"> Riverview Sarasota didn&#8217;t have too much breathing room in their  game against St. Petersburg  when the teams last played  back in January of 2025, but they still walked away with  a  70-66 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was   Harris, who  dropped  a double-double with 41 points and 11  rebounds. Now that he&#8217;s  got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Rams still be able to contain  Harris?
