The American Patriots had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were just a bucket shy of victory on Wednesday and fell 21-20 to Jackson. American lost against Jackson in their previous head to head back in November of 2022, too, but the margin this time around was much wider than the 30-18 score last time.
American's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Sade Resves, who scored 5 points along with 3 steals. Karissa Perrier was another key contributor, scoring 2 points along with 4 steals.
American's loss dropped their record down to 0-1. As for Jackson, their win bumped their record up to 1-0.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. American will take on Coral Park at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Jackson, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Homestead at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Hopefully Homestead focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 20 on Wednesday.
