Westfield has gone 9-1 against Spring recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Westfield Mustangs are taking a road trip to take on the Spring Lions at 7:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Westfield easily dispatched Benjamin Davis on Tuesday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. Westfield fell just short of Eisenhower by a score of 55-53 on Friday. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as the Mustangs came into the match with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 319th, while the Eagles are ranked 915th).

Meanwhile, Spring came up short against Aldine on Friday and fell 78-67. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game on Tuesday (56), the Lions still had to take the loss.

Westfield has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 10-11-1 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.0 points per game. As for Spring, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-13.

Westfield strolled past Spring when the teams last played back in January of 2024 by a score of 74-56. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Spring's Darrell Payton, who went 6 for 11 on his way to 20 points and five rebounds. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Westfield still be able to contain Payton? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
