Two dominant guards in Angel Torres and Dj Foster are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The American Patriots will take on the Hialeah Thoroughbreds on Monday. American knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past seven matches -- so hopefully Hialeah likes a good challenge.
Last Friday, American didn't have too much trouble with Carol City as they won 66-50. Given the Patriots' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 196th, while the Chiefs are ranked 452nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead American to victory, but perhaps none more so than Torres, who went 5 for 12 on his way to 18 points. Torres' evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Joshua Castin, who posted seven points along with eight boards and five steals.
Meanwhile, Hialeah unfortunately witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Friday. They were beaten by Northwestern 70-38. The contest marked the Thoroughbreds' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
American is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.2 points per game. As for Hialeah, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-8.
American didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Hialeah in their previous meeting back in December of 2022, but they still walked away with a 57-53 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for American since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
