The Winston Red Birds are taking a road trip to square off against the Albany Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 50-15, which was the final score in Winston's tilt against Carrollton on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Red Birds can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Missouri basketball rankings (they are ranked 307th, while the Trojans are ranked 84th).
Meanwhile, Albany unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Tuesday. They fell 43-35 to Higbee.
Albany's loss dropped their record down to 7-2. As for Winston, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-5.
Winston didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Albany in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 47-43 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Winston since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
