Madera is 4-0 against Hoover since January of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Madera Coyotes will face off against the Hoover Patriots at 6:30 p.m. Madera has now lost eight straight, leaving the team hunting for their first win since November 29.

Madera's tournament run continued when they took on Fresno Christian two weeks ago. Madera took a 46-40 hit to the loss column at the hands of Fresno Christian.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hoover). Couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap up 2024 than the 60-27 stomp they got against Washington Union. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Patriots have posted since December 7, 2023.

Hoover's victory bumped their record up to 7-8. As for Madera, their loss dropped their record down to 2-9.

Madera strolled past Hoover when the teams last played back in December of 2023 by a score of 52-38. The rematch might be a little tougher for Madera since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
