After both having extra time off, the Bogan Bengals and the Christian Fenger Academy Titans will shake off the cobwebs and face off against one another at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Both are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Bogan took a loss when they played away from home last Wednesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed last Friday. They claimed a resounding 57-17 victory over Englewood Stem. The Bengals have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won four contests by 36 points or more this season.
Bogan can attribute much of their success to Ra'Niyah Beal, who posted ten points and five steals, and Aliyah Sandoka, who put up seven points and 12 boards. Beal is becoming a predictor of Bogan's success: when she posts at least three steals the team is 4-2 (and 1-5 when she doesn't). Another player making a difference was Harmony Burgs, who scored six points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Christian Fenger Academy). They breezed by Catalyst-Maria to the tune of 67-30 last Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Christian Fenger Academy's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-4. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.6 points per game. As for Bogan, with the win, they broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 5-7.
Bogan won a match that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, slipping by Christian Fenger Academy 36-35. Will Bogan repeat their success, or does Christian Fenger Academy have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
