The Miller Rebels are taking a road trip to take on the Pacific Pirates at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Miller has now lost seven straight, leaving the team hunting for their first win since January 7.
On Monday, Miller took a blow against Indian Springs, falling 83-49. While losing is never fun, the Rebels can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 1239th, while the COYOTES are ranked 502nd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pacific). They breezed past Entrepreneur to the tune of 85-51 on Monday. The Pirates not only won on Monday, but they posted their biggest win since January 21, 2025 (when they won 63-26).

What's more, he also posted a 75% field goal percentage, which is the highest he's achieved since back in November of 2024. Another player making a difference was Romon Bryant, who shot 56% from the field to rack up 22 points along with seven assists and seven steals.
