Basketball Game Preview: Great Mills Hornets vs. St. Charles

After both having extra time off, the Great Mills Hornets and St. Charles will shake off the cobwebs and hit the court one another at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.

Great Mills is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. Everything went their way against Chopticon two weeks ago as Great Mills made off with a 79-56 victory. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Hornets have posted against the Braves since January 31, 2020.

Meanwhile, St. Charles waltzed into their game two weeks ago with three straight wins... but they left with four. They came within six points of losing the streak, but they secured a 62-56 W against the Wolverines. Given St. Charles' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 94th, while Westlake is ranked 215th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

St. Charles found their leader in sophomore Jamari Rogers, who shot 65% from the field en route to 32 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Rogers has scored all season. JoVaughn Green was another key player, going 5-for-8 on his way to 14 points and five boards.

Great Mills is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.3 points over those games. St. Charles pushed their record up to 13-6 with the victory, which was their third straight at home.

Great Mills came up short against St. Charles in their previous meeting back in January, falling 57-53. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Rogers, who shot 67% from the field to rack up 28 points and three steals.
