The Anna Rockets will challenge the Northeastern Jets at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Anna has four straight victories, Northeastern has 36 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Anna can't be too worried about heading out to take on Northeastern: they just beat West Liberty-Salem at home, who had been dominant on their own court up to that point. Anna secured a 36-30 W over West Liberty-Salem on Monday. Given the Rockets' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 145th, while the Tigers are ranked 297th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 68-9, which was the final score in Northeastern's tilt against Fairbanks last Saturday.
Allie Peterson was Northeastern's leading scorer, having posted six points.
Anna's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-7. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 28.8 points over those games. As for Northeastern, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-22.
