Basketball Recap: Medford Comes Up Short

Medford was the 75-25 winner over Salem when they last played one another back in December of 2018, but their luck changed this time around. The Medford Mustangs received a blow on Tuesday as they fell 66-51 to the Salem Witches. While losing is never fun, the Mustangs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts basketball rankings (they are ranked 223rd, while the Witches are ranked 43rd).

Medford has also been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-12 record this season. Salem's win bumped their record up to 16-4.

As of now, neither Medford nor Salem have any future games scheduled.
