The Christ Presbyterian Academy Lions will take on the Father Ryan Irish on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Christ Presbyterian Academy comes in on five and Father Ryan on three.
It was a proper cat-fight when Christ Presbyterian Academy took on Ensworth two weeks ago. Christ Presbyterian Academy managed a 49-45 win over Ensworth. The game was the first time the Lions have beaten the Tigers on their court since February 6, 2016.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Father Ryan). They took down St. Benedict at Auburndale 65-49 on Tuesday. Given the Irish's advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 47th in Tennessee, while the Eagles are ranked 234th in Tennessee), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Christ Presbyterian Academy pushed their record up to 17-5 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.0 points over those games. As for Father Ryan, their win bumped their record up to 22-5.
Christ Presbyterian Academy came out on top in a nail-biter against Father Ryan in their previous meeting on February 11th, sneaking past 46-43. Will Christ Presbyterian Academy repeat their success, or does Father Ryan have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
