Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Faith Baptist School will challenge the Fighting Marlins at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Seaside Christian Academy will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Maryland Rankings (they are ranked 267th, while the Falcons are ranked 34th). As for Greenwood Mennonite, they will head out on the road to face off against the Crusaders at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Tri-State Christian is on a four-game streak of home wins, the Flames a 14-game streak of away wins (dating back to last season)-- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the court.
