Basketball Game Preview: MAST Academy Makos vs. Mourning Sharks

After both having extra time off, the MAST Academy Makos and the Mourning Sharks will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court against one another at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Last Thursday, MAST Academy lost to Coral Shores at home by a 50-35 margin. The Makos have struggled against the Hurricanes recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.

Meanwhile, Mourning had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a hard 73-58 fall against North Miami last Wednesday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last five times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

MAST Academy was taken down by Mourning 68-40 when the teams last played back in December of 2024. Can the Makos avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
