McCluer had to start their season on the road on Monday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They had to suffer through a 95-33 loss at the hands of the Battle Spartans. The Comets lost against the Spartans in their previous head to head back in November of 2022, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the 79-48 score last time.
Battle's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Keshun Jackson, who almost dropped a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Jackson a new career-high in offensive rebounds (six). Brandon Rooks was another key player, going 7 for 9 en route to 19 points plus five assists.
McCluer will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Granite City at 7:30 p.m. on December 19th. Battle has already played their next matchup (against McCluer), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
