Magruder and Einstein are an even 3-3 against one another since December of 2014, but not for long. The Magruder Colonels will square off against the Einstein Titans at 7:15 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Magruder has four straight wins, Einstein has 16 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
Last Friday, Magruder didn't have too much trouble with Walter Johnson as they won 73-55. Given the Colonels' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland basketball rankings (they are ranked 124th, while the Wildcats are ranked 259th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 84-33, which was the final score in Einstein's tilt against Blake on Friday.
Magruder has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.5 points per game. As for Einstein, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-12.
Magruder barely slipped by Einstein in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, winning 57-56. The rematch might be a little tougher for Magruder since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
