A feisty cat fight is on tap when the Dishchii'bikoh Wildcats face off against the St. Michael Cardinals at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday... Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
On Tuesday, Dishchii'bikoh was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 51-47 to Red Mesa.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 65-30, which was the final score in St. Michael's tilt against Rock Point on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Cardinals can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Arizona basketball rankings (they are ranked 272nd, while the Cougars are ranked 98th).
Dishchii'bikoh's loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 5-1 and their overall record down to 8-9. As for St. Michael, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-12.
Dishchii'bikoh didn't have too much breathing room in their match against St. Michael when the teams last played two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 42-36 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Dishchii'bikoh since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
