If the Dinwiddie Generals were riding high off their 66-39 takedown of the Colonial Heights Colonials last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. Dinwiddie took a 53-48 hit to the loss column at the hands of Matoaca. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Dinwiddie of the 50-42 defeat they experienced in the two teams' previous head-to-head fixture back in November of 2023.
Dinwiddie's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Christiana Jones, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and ten rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Jones has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Milana Jones, who scored 13 points along with three steals.
