Preview: Brookfield Warriors vs. Newton Falls Tigers

Mya Jumper was another key contributor, scoring seven points along with four steals.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the match if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Newton Falls' strategy against the G-Men on Monday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Newton Falls blew the G-Men out of the water with a 49-20 final score.
Brookfield's record is now 7-12. Newton Falls' record is now 7-11.
Brookfield was able to grind out a solid win over the Tigers in their previous matchup back in January, winning 39-32. The rematch might be a little tougher for Brookfield since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
