The Williamsburg Raiders and the Regina Regals, after both having extra time off, will shake off the rust and duke it out at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Williamsburg is coming into the contest on a four-game losing streak.
Williamsburg is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Clear Creek-Amana two weeks ago (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Raiders were outmatched by the Clippers and fell 90-47. The Raiders were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 56-20.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Regina). They breezed past Tipton to the tune of 75-33 two weeks ago. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Regals' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Iowa basketball rankings (they are ranked 41st, while the Tigers are ranked 303rd).
The victory made it two in a row for Regina and bumps their season record up to 5-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.0 points over those games. As for Williamsburg, their loss dropped their record down to 1-5.
Williamsburg ended up a good deal behind Regina when the teams last played back in November of 2022, losing 59-42. Can the Raiders avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
