If St. Francis was feeling good fresh off their 44-18 takedown of Benzie Central last Wednesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The St. Francis Gladiators fell 43-36 to the St. Mary Eagles on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Gladiators can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 451st, while the Eagles are ranked 180th).
St. Francis has also been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 11 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-12 record this season. St. Mary is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. St. Francis will welcome Elk Rapids at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for St. Mary, they will take on St. Ignace at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. St. Ignace will roll in looking for their 18th straight win, something St. Mary surely won't give up without a fight.
