Basketball Game Preview: Manistique Emeralds vs. Gladstone Braves

Manistique hasn't had much luck against Gladstone recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Manistique Emeralds will host the Gladstone Braves at 7:30 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 82-26, which was the final score in Manistique's tilt against Iron Mountain on Monday.

Meanwhile, Gladstone took a blow against Iron Mountain on Tuesday, falling 75-30.

Manistique might still be hurting after the 61-41 defeat they got from Gladstone in their previous meeting back in February. Can Manistique avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
