The Mariemont Warriors will head out on the road to square off against the Madeira MUSTANGS/AMAZONS at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Mariemont's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last four matchups.
Mariemont pushed their score all the way to 59 on Tuesday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 72-59 to Taylor. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as Mariemont came into the contest with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 108th, while Taylor is ranked 330th).
Meanwhile, Madeira ended up a good deal behind Indian Hill on Tuesday and lost 62-47.
The losing side was boosted by Will Manning, who scored 17 points along with two steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Aidan Hopewell, who scored nine points.
Madeira struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only four offensive rebounds. That's the fewest offensive rebounds they've managed all season.
Mariemont's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 12-3. Madeira's record is now 3-12.
Mariemont strolled past Madeira in their previous matchup back in December of 2023 by a score of 62-45. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mariemont since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
