Aldine is hoping to do what MacArthur couldn't on Tuesday: put an end to Nimitz's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Nimitz came out on top against MacArthur by a score of 76-66. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 307th, while the Generals are ranked 765th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Aldine hadn't done well against Dekaney recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. Aldine walked away with a 67-60 win over Dekaney. The victory was familiar territory for the Mustangs who have now won four contests in a row.

Nimitz has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 14-13 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.0 points per game.

Everything came up roses for Nimitz against Aldine in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, as the team secured an 88-25 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Nimitz since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
