Basketball Preview: Cistercian Hawks vs. Dallas Christian Chargers
The Cistercian Hawks will head out to face off against the Dallas Christian Chargers at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Hawks fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Saturday's season opener. They came out on top against Covenant by a score of 62-53 on Saturday. The win was some much needed relief for the Hawks as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Dallas Christian was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They fell 73-62 to Lake Country Christian.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Cason Walker, who went 8 for 16 en route to 21 points plus five rebounds and two steals. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last three times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Vernon Davis, who went 7 for 12 en route to 16 points plus six rebounds.
Even though they lost, Dallas Christian was working as a unit and finished the game with 17 assists. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their assist total in three consecutive matchups.
Cistercian was able to grind out a solid victory over Dallas Christian in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, winning 62-52. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cistercian since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
