The Person Rockets just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Orange Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Person and Riverside-Durham meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Rockets took a 58-49 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Pirates.
Meanwhile, Orange was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat dating back to last season. They were beaten by Knightdale 54-27.
Orange's loss dropped their record down to 0-3. As for Person, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.
Person skirted past Orange 56-53 when the teams last played back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rockets since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
