The Central Chargers will head out to take on the Northeast Raiders at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Central knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three matches -- so hopefully Northeast likes a good challenge.
Last Tuesday, Central was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 65-60 to Southwest. While losing is never fun, the Chargers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 379th, while the Patriots are ranked 59th).
Meanwhile, Northeast was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They lost 54-32 to Bleckley County. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Raiders have suffered since January 3rd.
Central's loss dropped their record down to 8-12. As for Northeast, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-17.
Central strolled past Northeast in their previous matchup on January 14th by a score of 59-45. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Northeast's Keundre Jackson, who dropped a double-double on 18 points and 12 boards. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Central still be able to contain Jackson? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
