Miller is 9-1 against King since December of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Miller Buccaneers are taking a road trip to take on the King Mustangs at 7:30 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
On Wednesday, Miller was just a bucket shy of victory and fell 64-63 to Gregory-Portland. While losing is never fun, the Buccaneers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 837th, while the Wildcats are ranked 226th).

Miller's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of George Simmons, who went 9 of 20 on his way to 27 points and four steals, and Corey Holmes, who almost dropped a double-double on 17 points and nine rebounds. That's the most points Holmes has posted since back in January of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Dexter Brantley, who posted eight points.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 109-49, which was the final score in King's tilt against Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial on Wednesday. The Mustangs haven't had much luck with the Eagles recently, as the team's come up short the last eight times they've met.
Miller has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 9-12 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.0 points per game. As for King, their loss dropped their record down to 12-17.
Miller beat King 58-49 in their previous meeting back in December of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Miller since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
