Menchville is 10-0 against Gloucester since December of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. The Menchville Monarchs will venture away from home to challenge the Gloucester Dukes at 5:30 p.m. Menchville knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 15 contests -- so hopefully Gloucester likes a good challenge.

Last Thursday, Menchville blew past Kecoughtan, posting a 79-9 victory. The Monarchs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 matches by 24 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Gloucester). They claimed a resounding 60-25 win over Mathews. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Menchville pushed their record up to 14-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 21.0 points per game. As for Gloucester, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 7-9 record this season.

Everything came up roses for Menchville against Gloucester in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the team secured a 95-11 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Menchville since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
