The Coconut Creek Cougars will take on the Atlantic Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Coconut Creek is no doubt hoping to put an end to a 13-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 63-25, which was the final score in Coconut Creek's tilt against the Eagles on Thursday. While losing is never fun, Coconut Creek can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 670th, while the Eagles are ranked 219th).
Meanwhile, Atlantic entered their tilt with the Spartans with three consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with four. Atlantic secured a 63-58 W over the Spartans on Friday. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
