The Jackson Ironman/Ironladies will head out on the road to take on the Unioto Shermans at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Jackson comes in on three and Unioto on 12.
If Jackson beats Unioto with 59 points on Tuesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score. Jackson was the clear victor by a 59-34 margin over Alexander on Saturday. The Ironman/Ironladies have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Unioto earned a 69-61 victory over Huntington on Friday. Given the Shermans' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 149th, while the Huntsmen are ranked 708th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Unioto pushed their record up to 15-2 with the win, which was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.6 points per game. As for Jackson, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season.
Jackson strolled past Unioto in their previous meeting back in December of 2023 by a score of 63-46. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jackson since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
