After both having extra time off, the New Lisbon Rockets and the De Soto Pirates will shake off the cobwebs and challenge one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
New Lisbon easily dispatched Brookwood two weeks ago, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. New Lisbon fell just short of Wonewoc-Center by a score of 40-38 last Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Rockets have suffered against the Wolves since December 9, 2021.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask De Soto). They blew past La Farge/Youth Initiative 70-13 last Friday. The Pirates have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three matches by 25 points or more this season.
New Lisbon's defeat dropped their record down to 4-6. As for De Soto, they now have a winning record of 4-3.
New Lisbon didn't have too much breathing room in their game against De Soto in their previous meeting back in January, but they still walked away with a 57-51 win. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was De Soto's Kylee Venner, who dropped a double-double on 28 points and 13 rebounds. Now that she's got a second chance to win this matchup, will New Lisbon still be able to contain Venner? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
