The Assumption Royals will wrap up 2025 with a road trip to face off against the Bonduel Bears at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Assumption is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Rhinelander just ended the team's seven-game winning streak on Monday. They were beaten by the Hodags 50-22. The contest marked the Royals' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Meanwhile, Bonduel waltzed into their game last Friday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Chiefs 60-32. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Chiefs are ranked 328th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Bonduel's victory bumped their record up to 8-1. As for Assumption, their loss dropped their record down to 8-2.
Assumption didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Bonduel in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 54-49 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Royals since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
