The M.L. King Lions will head out on the road to face off against the Columbia Eagles at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Lions fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They walked away with an 86-75 win over Banneker on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Columbia earned a 75-64 victory over Cedar Grove last Tuesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Eagles.
M.L. King better focus on containing Deven Nelson and Zayd Muhammad as the pair were huge in Columbia's win. Nelson posted 21 points, while Muhammad put up 20 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jace Smith, who had ten points.
Things could have been worse for M.L. King, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 70-52 loss to Columbia in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. Can the Lions avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
