Preview: Cleveland Rams vs. Wakefield Wolverines

Cleveland has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will take on the Wakefield Wolverines at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Wakefield took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Cleveland, who comes in off a win.

Cleveland has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three games by 25 points or more this season. They were the clear victor by a 46-21 margin over Riverside-Durham. Given Cleveland's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 185th, while Riverside-Durham is ranked 467th), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.

Cleveland's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Nevaeh Cannon led the charge by scoring 11 points along with 4 steals. The match was Cannon's fourth in a row with at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jim'Mara Banks, who scored 3 points along with 6 rebounds and 3 steals.

Meanwhile, Wakefield came up short against Northern Guilford on Saturday and fell 57-48. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Wakefield in their matchups with Northern Guilford: they've now lost three in a row.

Cleveland's victory lifted them to 4-1 while Riverside-Durham's loss dropped them down to 0-5.
