The Goddard Rockets will square off against the Belen Eagles at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Goddard will head into Tuesday's matchup out to bounce back: they won a close one the last time they played, but unfortunately they suffered a serious change of fortune on Tuesday. They were beaten by Roswell 70-32. While losing is never fun, the Rockets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Mexico basketball rankings (they are ranked 93rd, while the Coyotes are ranked sixth).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Belen). They walked away with a 70-62 win over Los Alamos on Friday.
Goddard has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season. As for Belen, their victory bumped their record up to 6-7.
Goddard couldn't quite finish off Belen in their previous meeting back in December of 2024 and fell 50-48. Can Goddard avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
