If the Chiles Timberwolves were feeling good off their 53-33 takedown of the Maclay Marauders last Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit.

While losing is never fun, Chiles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 319th, while Lincoln is ranked 117th).

Chiles' defeat dropped their record down to 9-8. As for Lincoln, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 matches, which provided a nice bump to their 13-3 record this season.
