The Antigo Red Robins will take on the Lakeland Thunderbirds at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Last Tuesday, Antigo came up short against Shawano Community and fell 54-42. The Red Robins have struggled against the Hawks recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 68 points the game before, Lakeland was a bit more limited in their contest on Thursday. They were dealt an 89-30 defeat at the hands of Wausau West. While losing is never fun, the Thunderbirds can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 308th, while the Warriors are ranked 73rd).
Lakeland's loss dropped their record down to 6-10-1. As for Antigo, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-8.
Antigo didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Lakeland in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 57-53 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Antigo since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
