It was a Battle of the Birds when Andress challenged Rockwall-Heath on Friday. The Eagles strolled past the Hawks with points to spare, taking the game 53-37.
Meanwhile, Ysleta came up short against Burges on Friday and fell 49-37. While losing is never fun, the Indians can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 1018th, while the Mustangs are ranked 400th).
Ysleta has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season. As for Andress, their win bumped their record up to 7-4.
Andress was able to grind out a solid victory over Ysleta in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, winning 60-48. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Indians' Azaiah Thompson, who went 8-for-15 en route to 19 points and five rebounds. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for the Eagles to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
