The Medina Bobcats will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Charlotte Trojans at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Medina can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home last Friday. They had to suffer through a 55-22 loss at the hands of Jourdanton. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it five in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Charlotte). They enjoyed a cozy 74-59 victory over Leakey on Friday. With that win, the Trojans brought their scoring average up to 51.6 points per game.
Charlotte's win came from a few key players Medina will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Joshua Gaitan, who almost dropped a double-double with 16 points and nine boards. He is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last four games he's played. Nathan Cantu was another key player, going 5-for-9 to rack up 16 points.
Charlotte smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 14 offensive boards every time they've taken the court this season.
Medina didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Charlotte in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 54-49 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bobcats since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
