For the first time this season, Egyptian will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will be playing in front of their home fans against the Joppa-Maple Grove Rangers at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
After dropping their season opener at home, Joppa-Maple Grove is headed out to face a Pharaohs squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Egyptian was dealt a 57-27 loss at the hands of Pope County on Tuesday. The Pharaohs haven't had much luck with the Pirates recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from SAMARIA MASSIE, who posted ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of LYRIQ HOUSTON, who put up eight points.
Meanwhile, Joppa-Maple Grove came up short against Northside Baptist Christian last Thursday and fell 45-37.
Like Egyptian, Joppa-Maple Grove lost despite seeing results from several players. Abigail Lang led the charge by shooting 50% from the field to rack up 13 points. Bella Emery was another key player, putting up 12 points in addition to five boards and three steals.
Egyptian was taken down by Joppa-Maple Grove 48-4 in their previous matchup back in February of 2022. Thankfully for the Pharaohs, Ava McNeill-Stephens (who almost dropped a double-double with 17 points and nine assists) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
