The Mapleton Mounties will head out on the road to face off against the Mansfield Christian Flames at 5:45 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Mapleton can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home last Friday. They fell 61-54 to Columbia.
Meanwhile, Mansfield Christian unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 51-45 hit to the loss column at the hands of Crestline on Friday. Flames fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Bulldogs since Friday.
Mapleton was able to grind out a solid win over Mansfield Christian in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, winning 61-49. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mounties since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
