The Masuk Panthers will be playing at home against the Stratford Red Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Monday, Masuk was the victim of a tough 60-34 defeat at the hands of the Mustangs. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Masuk has scored all season.
Meanwhile, Stratford's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their fourth straight loss. They took a 73-58 bruising from Brookfield. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
Masuk has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season. As for Stratford, they dropped their record down to 4-11 with that loss, which was their fourth straight on the road.
Masuk didn't have too much breathing room in their match against the Red Devils when the teams last played back in January of 2023, but they still walked away with a 50-44 win. Will Masuk repeat their success, or do the Red Devils have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
