Preview: Westview Chargers vs. Loretto Mustangs

The Westview Chargers will be staying on the road on Thursday to face off against the Loretto Mustangs at 2:15 p.m. on March 7th. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are closely ranked in Tennessee (Westview is ranked 35th, while Loretto is ranked 12th).

Memphis Business Academy typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday Westview proved too difficult a challenge. They came out on top against the Execs by a score of 44-36.

Westview's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kylee Alexander led the charge by scoring 15 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Mccall Sims, who scored 14 points.

Meanwhile, Loretto stacked a 15th blowout win onto their ever-increasing hoard on Saturday. They breezed by Cheatham County Central at home to the tune of 64-36. The victory was familiar territory for Loretto who now have six in a row.

Westview pushed their record up to 23-6 with that win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.0 points per game. Loretto's record now sits at 27-3.

Westview didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Loretto in their previous meeting back in March of 2022, but they still walked away with a 36-30 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Westview since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
