Hayward lost against Ladysmith back in January, and unfortunately they wound up with the same result on Tuesday. The Hayward Hurricanes took an 87-77 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Ladysmith Lumberjacks. While losing is never fun, the Hurricanes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 357th, while the Lumberjacks are ranked 138th).
Hayward has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-15 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.3 points over those games. The win (which was Ladysmith's ninth in a row) raised their record to 17-5.
Hayward has already played their next contest (against Cameron), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for Ladysmith, they will challenge Cumberland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Ladysmith knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 11 games -- so hopefully Cumberland likes a good challenge.
