The Penelope Wolverines's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Bynum Bulldogs at 6:00 p.m. on January 26th. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Penelope suffered their biggest loss yet this season on January 9th. They had to suffer through a rough 48-7 loss at the hands of Avalon. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Penelope has scored all season.
Meanwhile, things could have been worse for Bynum, but they could have been a whole lot better as they took a 44-25 loss to Oakwood on Friday. Bynum has not had much luck with Oakwood recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Penelope's defeat was their 11th straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-9. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 22.0 points per game. As for Bynum, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost eight of their last nine matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.
Penelope was able to grind out a solid win over Bynum when the teams last played back in December of 2023, winning 43-32. The rematch might be a little tougher for Penelope since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
