After both having extra time off, the Mira Monte Lions and the Chavez Titans will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Having struggled with five defeats in a row, Mira Monte turned things around against Antelope Valley last Friday. They managed a 49-44 victory over the Antelopes.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chavez). They blew past Le Grand, posting a 66-19 win. The Titans have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won four games by 24 points or more this season.
Mira Monte's victory bumped their record up to 4-7. As for Chavez, the win snapped their losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 4-6 record.
Mira Monte beat Chavez 60-51 when the teams last played back in December of 2022. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Chavez's Jesus Martinez, who shot 5-for-9 from deep and dropped a double-double on 27 points and 13 boards. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for Mira Monte to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
