Basketball Game Preview: McMinn Central Chargers vs. Loretto Mustangs

McMinn Central has won ten straight games at home, while Loretto has won ten straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Wednesday. The McMinn Central Chargers will welcome the Loretto Mustangs. McMinn Central knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past five matchups -- so hopefully Loretto likes a good challenge.

Last Saturday, everything went McMinn Central's way against Alcoa as McMinn Central made off with a 72-50 win. The Chargers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 24 games by 21 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Loretto beat Stewart County 56-50 on Saturday.

McMinn Central better keep an eye on Ally Weathers. She was instrumental in Loretto's win, putting up 29 points. The contest was Weathers' fourth in a row with at least 18 points. Libby Sanders was another key player, earning eight points.

Loretto has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-8 record this season.
