The Riesel Indians will challenge the Martins Mill Mustangs on Thursday. Riesel is coming into the game hot, having won their last nine games.
Riesel is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Monday. They enjoyed a cozy 47-32 victory over Italy. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 439th, while the Gladiators are ranked 983rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Martins Mill). They simply couldn't be stopped on Monday as they easily beat Latexo 105-42. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 21 contests by 21 points or more this season.
The win (which was Martins Mill's third in a row) raised their record to 30-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.3 points over those games. As for Riesel, their record is now 20-4.
Things could have been worse for Riesel, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 56-38 loss to Martins Mill in their previous matchup back in February of 2024. Can Riesel avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
