The Tuscaloosa Home Educators Warriors will head out on the road to face off against the Southern Christian Patriots at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Tuscaloosa Home Educators is no doubt hoping to put an end to a four-game streak of away losses.
Last Tuesday, it was a hard-fought game, but Tuscaloosa Home Educators had to settle for a 34-32 loss against the Torches. While losing is never fun, Tuscaloosa Home Educators can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 332nd, while the Torches are ranked 165th).
Tuscaloosa Home Educators' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Amelia Arsenault, who scored 18 points, and Lanie Westerberg who scored 13 points. That was a full 56.3% of Tuscaloosa Home Educators' points, marking the third time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points.
Meanwhile, Southern Christian's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their seventh straight loss. They lost to Ezekiel Academy at home by a decisive 51-35 margin. Southern Christian was down 43-22 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Tuscaloosa Home Educators' record is now 5-12. Southern Christian's record is now 1-9.
Tuscaloosa Home Educators skirted past the Patriots 36-33 in their previous meeting on Saturday. The rematch might be a little tougher for Tuscaloosa Home Educators since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
