Basketball Preview: Knightdale Knights vs. Cleveland Rams
The Knightdale Knights will head out on the road to challenge the Cleveland Rams at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday. Hopefully Knightdale focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 14 on Saturday.
Knightdale can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home. The game between them and Southeast Raleigh wasn't particularly close, with Knightdale falling 49-35.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Ja?Kiyah Moore, who almost dropped a double-double on nine points and nine rebounds. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in field goal percentage (80%). Another player making a difference was Taya Anderson, who had 11 points.
Meanwhile, Cleveland took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday (and then some). They really took it to South Johnston for the full four quarters, racking up a 55-17 victory. The Rams pushed the score to 46-15 by the end of the third, a deficit the Trojans had no chance of recovering from.
Knightdale didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Cleveland when the teams last played back in November of 2023, but they still walked away with a 61-56 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Knightdale since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
