Midland has gone 8-2 against Central recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Midland Chemics will venture away from home to challenge the Central Wolves at 7:30 p.m. The two teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with three consecutive losses for Midland and nine for Central.

Midland is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Powers Catholic on Tuesday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Midland was beaten by Powers Catholic 77-37. While losing is never fun, the Chemics can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 489th, while the Chargers are ranked 12th).

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 71-31, which was the final score in Central's tilt against Lapeer on Tuesday.

Central's loss dropped their record down to 2-16. As for Midland, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-16.

Everything came up roses for Midland against Central in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the squad secured a 61-19 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Midland since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
