The Decatur Seahawks will head out on the road to challenge the Crisfield Crabbers at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Decatur's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last five matches.
Decatur stacked a seventh blowout win onto their ever-increasing hoard on Monday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Washington 74-35 at home. Given Decatur's advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 37th, while Washington is ranked 270th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Davin Chandler was his usual excellent self, scoring 22 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points he has scored all season. Frankie Buxbaum was another key contributor, scoring ten points.
Meanwhile, Crisfield's recent rough patch got a bit rougher last Wednesday after their third straight loss. They had to suffer through a rough 93-57 loss at the hands of Snow Hill. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
Decatur pushed their record up to 11-1 with that victory, which was their 16th straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 75.6 points per game. As for Crisfield, their loss dropped their record down to 3-8.
Everything came up roses for Decatur against Crisfield in their previous matchup back in December of 2023 as the squad secured a 93-53 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Decatur since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
