Basketball Game Preview: Juanita Ravens vs. Meadowdale Mavericks

The Juanita Ravens and the Meadowdale Mavericks will round out the year against one another at at 7:15 p.m. on Monday.

Juanita will head into Saturday's contest out to bounce back: they won a close one the last time they played, but unfortunately they suffered a serious change of fortune last Saturday. They had to suffer through a 74-46 loss at the hands of Bishop Blanchet. While losing is never fun, the Ravens can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 276th, while the Bears are ranked 51st).

Meanwhile, couldn't have asked for a better way to wrap up 2024 than the 54-25 stomp they got against Cedarcrest. That 29 point margin sets a new team best for the Mavericks this season.
