Overview
The Brunswick-Allatoona matchup is a clash of styles. Brunswick is a team that likes to play at a faster tempo and has to get big play from its frontcourt in Roger Davis and Kymani Dunham. Allatoona is a very balanced team that can really execute in the halfcourt. There may not be one guy to key on for the Bucs, but everyone that steps on the floor can and most likely will contribute and thrive in a role. The tempo of the game will be key; however, both teams have proven that they can win in multiple ways. Whichever team can impose their style on the other will most likely come out on top.
Must-See Matchup
The matchup to watch here is between two late rising senior wings in Brunswick’s Roger Davis and Allatoona’s Bradley Brevet. This should be a fun matchup and these guys will be looking to aggressively score the ball early.
