The Riesel Indians just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Meridian Yellowjackets at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Riesel will head into Monday's game ready to turn things around: they couldn't quite beat Rosebud-Lott on Monday, but the two-point margin was a huge improvement compared to the 27-point defeat they were dealt on Friday. Riesel fell just short of Rosebud-Lott by a score of 32-30. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Indians have suffered since November 30, 2023.
Meanwhile, Meridian had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They came out on top against Hico by a score of 38-25.
Meridian's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Josh Nunez, who had 15 points in addition to six rebounds and four steals, and Guillermo Ortiz, who earned five points in addition to two steals. What's more, Nunez also posted a 20% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's posted since back in December of 2023.
Riesel strolled past Meridian in their previous meeting back in November of 2023 by a score of 59-45. The rematch might be a little tougher for Riesel since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
