Clio and Brandon are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2019, but not for long. The Clio Mustangs will be playing at home against the Brandon Blackhawks at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Clio is headed into the match out to prove that what happened against Flushing on Tuesday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Clio came up short against Flushing, falling 36-15.
Clio's loss came about despite a quality game from Ellie Neuhaus, who posted 12 points.
Meanwhile, Brandon unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were dealt a 61-21 defeat at the hands of Fenton on Tuesday. The Blackhawks have struggled against the Tigers recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
Clio won a contest that couldn't have been any closer when the teams last played back in February, slipping by Brandon 46-45.
