The Hillsborough Terriers will head out on the road to challenge the Freedom Patriots at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hillsborough will be strutting in after a win while Freedom will be coming in after a loss.
Hillsborough will head into Friday's contest on the come-up: they were handed a 26-point defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 52-49 victory over Middleton. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Terriers as it put an end to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 68 points the game before, Freedom was a bit more limited in their matchup on Saturday. They were outmatched by Discovery and fell 81-26. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 428th, while the Spartans are ranked 70th).
Hillsborough's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. As for Freedom, their loss dropped their record down to 3-5.
Hillsborough didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Freedom in their previous meeting back in January, but they still walked away with a 56-50 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hillsborough since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
