Coral Park is 1-6 against Varela since December of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. After both having extra time off, both will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 7:30 p.m. Coral Park will be strutting in after a victory while Varela will be coming in after a defeat.
Coral Park is headed out to face Varela after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Coral Park blew past Ferguson 73-52 last Tuesday. The win was some much needed relief for the Rams as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Angel Lara was nothing short of spectacular: he went 8 for 18 en route to 21 points plus seven steals and six rebounds. Another player making a difference was Alejandro Camacho, who scored 13 points in addition to five steals.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 66 points the game before, Varela was a bit more limited in their match last Thursday. They were beaten by Homestead 64-30. The Vipers were down 56-21 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Coral Park didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Varela when the teams last played back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 49-45 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Coral Park since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
