The Johnsburg Central Jaguars will head out on the road to challenge the Chazy Eagles at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Johnsburg Central is hoping to put an end to an 11-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
Back in December of 2023, Johnsburg Central came up short against Fort Ann and fell 36-28.
Despite their loss, Johnsburg Central saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Nate Vanderwarker, who scored five points along with seven steals and five rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Vanderwarker has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last five times he's played. Nick Sauer-Jones was another key contributor, scoring eight points along with ten rebounds and seven steals.
Meanwhile, Chazy unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a serious blow against Boquet Valley, falling 59-32. While losing is never fun, Chazy can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 581st, while Boquet Valley is ranked 242nd).
Johnsburg Central's record is now 0-6. Chazy's record is now 3-3.
Johnsburg Central might still be hurting after the 50-26 defeat they got from Chazy in their previous meeting back in January of 2023. Can Johnsburg Central avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
