Rolla hasn't had much luck against Minneola recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Pirates will face off against the Wildcats at 6:30 p.m.
Rolla is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Walsh on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Pirates were beaten by the Eagles 63-34. The Pirates were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 39-17.
Meanwhile, Minneola gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They came out on top against Cunningham by a score of 56-44.
Rolla better focus on containing Levi Lang and Kaos Aldridge as the pair were huge in Minneola's win. Lang posted 19 points and five boards, while Aldridge almost dropped a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds. Those 14 points gave Aldridge a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Coy Denison, who had seven points and six rebounds.
Rolla was dealt a bruising 88-49 loss at the hands of Minneola in their previous meeting back in February. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Lang, who went 9-for-20 on his way to 23 points. Now that the Pirates know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
