The Clay Blue Devils will challenge the Middleburg Broncos at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 60-9, which was the final score in Clay's tilt against Bishop Snyder on Monday. While losing is never fun, the Blue Devils can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 513th, while the Cardinals are ranked 92nd).
Despite the loss, Clay saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Kathryn Moran posted seven points.
Meanwhile, Middleburg took a blow against Orange Park on Monday, falling 58-23. The defeat continues a trend for the Broncos in their matchups with the Raiders: they've now lost four in a row.
Middleburg's loss dropped their record down to 6-11. As for Clay, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-12 record this season.
Things could have been worse for Clay, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 46-27 loss to Middleburg in their previous meeting two weeks ago. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Middleburg's Aiyana Haynes, who almost dropped a double-double on 26 points and nine steals. Now that Clay knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
