The Fremont Packers will head out on the road to square off against the Manistee Chippewas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Fremont unfortunately witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Tuesday. They were dealt a 80-31 defeat at the hands of Whitehall. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss Fremont has suffered yet this season.
Meanwhile, Manistee came up short against Ludington last Thursday and fell 52-44. While losing is never fun, Manistee can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 248th, while Ludington is ranked 115th).
Fremont's record is now 5-7. Manistee's record is now 6-5.
Fremont came up short against Manistee in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, falling 48-40. Can Fremont avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
