The Mays Raiders are taking a road trip to square off against Drew at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Mays' favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four games.
Last Tuesday, Mays was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 66-60 to Pace Academy. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 91st, while the Knights are ranked 11th).
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jack Sparks, who went 6 of 11 en route to 20 points and five rebounds. Davenport Cox was another key player, going 6 for 13 on his way to 19 points and five boards.
Meanwhile, Drew was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They were a single point away from ending the streak, but they lost a 50-49 heartbreaker at the hands of North Clayton.
Mays' defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 12-7. As for Drew, their loss dropped their record down to 6-10.
Everything went Mays' way against Drew when the teams last played back in December of 2024, as Mays made off with a 79-59 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mays since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
