Basketball Game Preview: Lawson Lightning vs. St. Cecilia Academy Scarabs

Having just played yesterday, the Lawson Lightning will head out on the road to face off against the St. Cecilia Academy Scarabs at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

Lawson is leaving town to face St. Cecilia Academy after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Lawson fell to White House 32-27. The Lightning just can't catch a break and have now endured five defeats in a row dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, St. Cecilia Academy was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They were dealt a 63-25 defeat at the hands of Brentwood Academy. While losing is never fun, the Scarabs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 333rd, while the Eagles are ranked 113th).
