Basketball Game Preview: Jackson Vikings vs. Okemos Wolves

The Jackson Vikings will take on the Okemos Wolves at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Okemos took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Jackson, who comes in off a win.

Jackson's tournament run continued when they took on Northwest on Monday. Jackson came out on top against Northwest by a score of 45-37. The win continues a trend for the Vikings in their matchups with the Mounties: they've now won three in a row.

Meanwhile, Okemos came up short against East Lansing on Friday and fell 53-46. While losing is never fun, the Wolves can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 51st, while the Trojans are ranked second).

Okemos has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-7 record this season. Jackson now has a winning record of 12-11.

Jackson suffered a grim 71-50 defeat to Okemos in their previous matchup back in March of 2020. Can Jackson avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
