The Tradition Prep Pirates and the Centennial Eagles will face off at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday without much rest, having both just played. The two teams are out to turn their luck around after having lost tight contests in their previous games.
Tradition Prep easily dispatched Monsignor McClancy on Saturday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The Pirates fell just short of Western by a score of 54-51 on Monday. The loss was the Pirates' first of the season.
Meanwhile, Centennial suffered their closest defeat since November 24th on Monday. They fell just short of St. Albans by a score of 61-58. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 211th in Florida, while the Bulldogs are ranked fifth in District of Columbia).
Centennial has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season. Having lost for the first time this season, Tradition Prep fell to 11-1.
