The Flat Rock Rams will head out to take on the Carlson Marauders at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. One thing working in Flat Rock's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four matches.
Last Friday, Flat Rock strolled past Grosse Ile with points to spare, taking the game 59-40. The Rams haven't had any issues with the Red Devils recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
Meanwhile, Carlson earned a 54-41 victory over Roosevelt on Saturday. Given the Marauders' advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 318th, while the Bears are ranked 647th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Flat Rock better keep an eye on Matt MacBride. He was instrumental in Carlson's win, putting up 21 points and six rebounds. The dominant performance gave MacBride a new career-high in boards. Another player making a difference was Austin Saavedra, who posted seven points and six rebounds.
Flat Rock pushed their record up to 10-6 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.0 points over those games. As for Carlson, their victory bumped their record up to 8-9.
Flat Rock didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Carlson in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, but they still walked away with a 48-44 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Flat Rock since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
