This past Tuesday, Lafayette played Tates Creek at home. Lafayette came out and played amazing and got the job done, as they handled Creek 79-49. Devontae Hayes led the team with 14 points, and 16 rebounds. Evan Dreux led in scoring with 15 points. Lafayette had 4 players in double figures, and 7 players score more than five points.

This Friday, Lafayette stays at home, when they take on brand-new Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass is 2-3 so far in this young season, while Lafayette has started hot, going 4-1. Lafayette is 3-0 at home this year, but this is Frederick Douglass first ever away game. Based on the stats, Lafayette averages 76 points per game, to Frederick´s 70.6 points per game. Lafayette gives up 60.2 points per game, while Frederick gives up 77.2.

I´m predicting a relatively close game, as Lafayette pulls away with a 5-10 point win. Can´t wait to see everyone piling in to Carlisle-Jackson Gym.

Lafayette starting lineup:

G Evan Dreux
