Roosevelt is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games, which provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. As for Ron Brown, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-6.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Roosevelt will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Coolidge at 7:30 p.m. on January 5th. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in District of Columbia (Coolidge is ranked eighth, while Roosevelt is ranked ninth). As for Ron Brown, they will head out on the road to face off against Banneker at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Banneker knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Ron Brown likes a good challenge.
