The Saginaw Rough Riders will face off against the West Mesquite Wranglers at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday. Saginaw comes in on a streak of failing to score more than 23 points in their last three games, a trend the squad is of course eager to reverse.
Last Tuesday, Saginaw had to suffer through a rough 50-23 loss at the hands of Richland.
Despite the loss, Saginaw had strong showings from Tatum Stone, who scored 13 points along with 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and Anabelle Aguilera, who scored 2 points. Stone scored a full 56.5% of Saginaw's points, the seventh time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points.
Meanwhile, West Mesquite was the victim of a rough 48-23 loss at the hands of Everman last Monday. While losing is never fun, West Mesquite can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 1190th, while Everman is ranked 231st).
The losses dropped Saginaw to 2-5 and Richland to 4-5.
Everything came up roses for Saginaw against West Mesquite in their previous meeting back in December of 2022 as the team secured a 85-42 win. Does Saginaw have another victory up their sleeve, or will West Mesquite turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
