Basketball Game Preview: North Delta Green Wave vs. Kirk Academy Raiders

The North Delta Green Wave are taking a road trip to square off against the Kirk Academy Raiders at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Kirk Academy took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on North Delta, who comes in off a win.

While Green Wave fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They blew past Water Valley 44-20 back in November. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Green Wave as it put an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Kirk Academy suffered their biggest defeat since February 19th on Friday. They lost 69-44 to Jackson Prep. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Mississippi basketball rankings (they are ranked 93rd, while the Patriots are ranked ninth).

North Delta was dealt a bruising 46-18 loss at the hands of Kirk Academy in their previous matchup back in January. Can North Delta avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
