The Stevenson Patriots will square off against the Wheeling Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Stevenson is headed into Wednesday's contest hungry for a win as their strong season has now been derailed by two straight defeats. They fell 67-55 to Waukegan on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Wheeling lost 65-40 to Schaumburg on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Wildcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 395th, while the Saxons are ranked 96th).
Wheeling has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-19 record this season. Stevenson's loss dropped their record down to 20-10.
