Flanagan took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Monarch, who comes in off a win.
Monarch is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They really took it to Hallandale for the full four quarters, racking up a 75-34 victory. The Knights pushed the score to 61-28 by the end of the third, a deficit the Chargers had no chance of recovering from.

Thanks to that strong game, Green now owns an excellent 41.4% three-point shooting accuracy. Bradley Philippe was another key player, putting up five points.

Meanwhile, Flanagan was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They took a 63-51 hit to the loss column at the hands of Taravella.
Monarch will need to focus on slowing down Jonathan Moesch, one of several Flanagan players who made an impact when they last played. He went 6-for-11 on his way to 13 points along with seven rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of AJ Forges, who dropped a double-double with ten points and ten boards.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Monarch has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 27.8 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Flanagan struggles in that department as they've been averaging 25.4 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
