The Strawberry Crest Chargers will square off against the Lennard Longhorns at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Strawberry Crest is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Chamberlain just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell 48-35 to the Storm. The loss was the Chargers' first of the season.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Aniya Blaxton, who had eight points plus five rebounds and four steals. Blaxton is crushing it when it comes to steals: she's grabbed at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Airreonna Cauldwell, who posted nine points plus four blocks and three steals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lennard). They took down Brandon 51-33 on Tuesday. The win was some much needed relief for the Longhorns as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Having lost for the first time this season, Strawberry Crest fell to 3-1. As for Lennard, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-3.
Strawberry Crest suffered a grim 54-34 defeat to Lennard in their previous meeting back in January of 2021.
