Wren might still be hurting after the 51-31 defeat they got from Westside in their previous matchup back in December of 2021. Thankfully for Wren, Destiny Middleton (who posted 15 points along with six steals and five rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
