The Rockville Rams will challenge the Coventry Patriots at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Rockville is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 56.7 points per game this season.
Last Wednesday, Rockville beat Suffield 58-51. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut basketball rankings (they are ranked 41st, while the Wildcats are ranked 138th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Rockville didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Coventry when the teams last played back in January, but they still walked away with a 58-53 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Rockville since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
